I called the river, because i was curious and it was cheap.
Should i raise that turn?

Yeah, raise the turn to $5.5 or so .. as played calling river is meh - like you said was cheap you might be ahead tho prolly not

Fold river.
Turn sucks, id raise if it wasnt such a gay 8 tbh so call is fine, raise is suicide imo

i really disagree.. I think raising turn is pretty standard.. granted it is the last $$ you are putting into the hand.

and ya, folding river is for sure best.. but u could kinda justify it saying decent odds, slight chance ur ahead, info for later etc.. not a huge deal imo

What's the point in raising the turn? This is probably fine except river

Spurious · #6 09-09-2007, 01:27 PM

i know the river is burned money, but he made it cheap

the point in raising the turn:
i think we can get more money in from hands like KT, or Jx hands.
