i fold the turn. i might call-down if i was closing the action.

tough spot if it's HU but i think it's easier with somebody still to act.

I'd rather raise the turn again than fold. However, the problem with raising the turn is that the villain is very aggressive and could 3-bet a good draw. HU I'd just call down.

I would fold flop... raise/fold turn. CO has a jack here a lot.

Folding the flop is too weak IMO. The pot is fairly big and the donk is a complete bluff, a semibluff, worse made hands and then also Jx. With the position Hero has an excellent chance of getting the pot HU. Pretty easy raise IMO.

The turn is a tough spot and I prolly fold it. UTG+1 called 2 cold on the flop and the repeat donk makes it more likely CO has the J. The pot is big though and raising to shut out UTG+1 and taking the free showdown is an option. I am just not sure that UTG+1 actually folds or that CO checks the river.

If it was HU, call down or raise turn. Here, fold turn.

I agree with the first part. I don't reference SSHE very often because it's always mis-applied (in micro's anyway) but I would say folding to a very aggro player's flop donk on this flop with 13.5 small bets is a good example of "folding too much".

The turn is closer because it means villian has the J a lot but I'm not really sure why UTG+1's presence is influencing everyone's decision that much after merely check/coldcalling a somewhat coordinated flop.

How dare you disagree with me or uh... ask my opinion.. lol.

on the flop utg1 would be getting ~8 to 1 when faced with 2
on the turn utg1 would be getting ~5 to 1 when faced with 2

going with the read that CU indeed has a weak jack, if utg folds the gutshot QT or Q9, its a bad fold on the flop because his Q is live. If he folds it on the turn its a correct fold. If he has an oesd or a fd, theres no betting pattern that makes his coming along unprofitable. Id rather have utg1 make a bad fold on the flop than a good fold on the turn.

I tend to save these turn hand protection raises for 4 way pots.

edit: as far as the free sd, yeah, itd be nice... but I'm convinced you're up against a weak jack here.. so in my mind itd be a slightly expensive shot at a 2 outer on the river (plus the added value of closure so that you may grieve for your nines)

I'm thinking you should fold somewhere, but OTOH CO has a high AF. How many hands do you have on him?
