MP2 is 29/7/2.4. While he is a bit loose and aggressive his pfr is 7% over 120 hands.
BB is 22/4/0.58. One of the resident fish in the game.

Is there any other way to play this postflop?

I'd raise the turn.

Are we folding to a 3 bet after raising the turn?

i like a free SD raise. MP2 may have been raising FD+overs on the flop. if you're going to get to showdown, may as well raise the turn to charge the draws, knock out the BB, and check behind on the river.

Why is raising the turn better than the flop here?

Wait for the turn to raise and protect your hand because the other drawing hands will have pot odds to call one more flop bet. When that brick lands on the Turn, figuring your TT is ahead, you can then raise to protect the equity your hand has, and force that potential Big blind draw and MP2 to pay for their hands.

are you checkfolding all overs as well as all spades on the turn?

Mr. GQ · #9 05-23-2006, 01:42 PM

That depends on how sure I'm beat and on what pot odds I'm being laid. The likely answer is to call one last bet.

you could valuebet the river. is BB the type of loose passive to call down with A7 or 66 here, or is he calling down b/c he has a Jack? if he won't call down with less than top pair i like the river check. i don't hate the free showdown raise on this turn, either. in fact i would probably raise for the free sd in this spot pretty often.
