looks fine, but you're probably losing to a small flush here.

Why raise the turn? Calling a turn and river bet will be the same price.

I never play LO8/b, but I still don't get the turn raise. Don't you get 3-bet by the flush too often? I don't see any flush folding, unless they are just the nittiest of the nits and most hands that would pay you off are scared away by the turn raise, except obviously for sets, lower straights and maybe top two. But most of these hands don't make sense with the turn donk. Then again, your opponent is 51/14, but that doesn't mean he is irrational.

I agree, I think calling the turn accomplishes the same thing. If you have him beat and he is bluffing at you, you win his bet and perhaps one more. If he has you beat, your raise will not deter him from calling your river bet, thus losing 3 bets instead of the 2 by calling. Not to mention, he may have a small flush here, and if you just call, and he checks the river, you save another bet. Bets saved = bets earned!

mostly crap that has allready been said, but call the turn unless you have a very good reaad

I agree with all that's been said about the turn raise. I don't like it either....

BUT, I think that against some players, following the turn raise with a river bet may take the pot. A weak flush may fold enough to make that profitable.
Unfortunately for you, your LAG play may have more hands calling you down, so this would be completely read dependant.

Just another option....
