<font color="gray">UTG folds</font>, <font color="red">UTG+1 raises to t80</font>, <font color="gray">MP1 folds</font>, <font color="gray">MP2 folds</font>, <font color="gray">MP3 folds</font>, Hero calls t80, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, <font color="gray">SB folds</font>, <font color="gray">BB folds</font>

Flop: (t190) 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
<font color="red">UTG+1 bets t100</font>, Hero calls t100

Turn: (t390) Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
<font color="red">UTG+1 bets t240</font>, Hero?

I called the flop bet because I was getting proper pot odds for my straight draw. Now what? This x4bb raise looks like a big PP for me, I didn't improve so I'm folding here, right?

What about a raise to 300 on flop, hoping he would fold something like AJ, AQ, maybe AK? Plus, that would probably give me a free card on the turn. And if I get called, I'm folding any turn besides 6, 9 or J.

Usually I play it like you and fold on the turn.

Are others raising the flop ? It might be good as his bet size sream "c-bet", and you give yourself real chances to win the pot immediatly.

At the 6s I usually raise the flop and fold to a push.
