Default Re: Flopped low pair BB against SB

Goot. I hope you were planning on checking behind the river? I love the turn raise because SB could be holding a wide variety of draws.

I don't agree, considering the pot being only 2 BB on the turn, 3 including his bet. Even if he has one of the wide variety of draws you are talking about, we're not giving up much by letting him see the river "cheaply" by calling his bet, and he will probably bet a missed draw on the river as well. We will never make him fold a better hand. Finally he could check the river with weak pairs that still have us beat, saving us a bet.

This above only compares the call-down line with the turn-raise line, which I think is much better. Even better still is probably the line that folds the turn immediately. He could very well be ahead, and if if he's behind he could easily have 10 outs to beat us. The pot is tiny, there's almost nothing to protect.
