I would say this is a fold. You are going to have to call 2 more bets in to win 10.5 and I don't think you are good here 20% of the time.

Yeah, also with this coordinated board, if I'm good, my hand has to STAY good, which it probably won't about 20% of the time if he's got a J or FD.

This guy was pretty much a moron, which makes this an easier fold, but how are you guys playing this against a 35/22/2.1 type who's got a huge bag of tricks (and could be raising 33 there)?

funny, because i read this post then took a nap and i was wondering the EXACT same thing. i was like 'a good tricky player can raise 77 (essentialy same as 33 which u mentioned) here and check behind on riv'.

i think like u said its an easy fold on turn vs this opponent. as far as a better opponent, its prob still a fold, but v. close and could go either way depending on other factors.

That turn puts so many draws up there that there's no way I'm folding this. A random guy with those stats is plenty capable of a semibluff raise with a lot here. Plus you often have outs. And the pot is huge. I'm shocked to hear people saying this is an easy fold.

i call this one down all day. if you are going to fold i think you should have check call the turn.

If good players pick up on the fact that you are a habitual turn bet-folder they will make life a nightmare for you.

Im a big SD monkey, but I've been trying to find a few better folds here and there. Given the action, this seemed like one of them.
I would def call this down if it went call flop/raise turn, but after I 3bet this preflop and 3bet the flop, how can he think he has much of any FE for a semibluff? I've retaken the lead at every opportunity here and he's still raising. I've almost overrepped my hand and yet he doesn't seem to care.

You have built the pot to the point where it is usually a mistake folding a hand that may have up to 5 outs if behind and may be best. I will usually call the turn here and sometimes call down and sometimes fold. It is pretty helpful to know if he will free SD you or semibluff a heart draw here or just bluff raise the scare card. Your line is pretty strong though so folding the river has a lot of merit.
