Going for a semi-bluff raise on the turn...

No special reads on villian - he was pretty new to the table. You like? Standard?

I don't like it. MP checkraised the field on the flop; he's not kidding around. He's got at least a ten, and he's not folding. Just check and call. If you make the nuts on the river go for the checkraise.

Good luck with that.

But maybe you will get 3bet by aces up and river the nuts and life will be good.

Am I the only one who dont like the flop peel? 2 players behind us and what? 5-6 outs?

I dont make the turn play unless I have a read that he will fold his naked 8's or T's.

I think the two pretty strong backdoor draws make the flop peel OK.
