I know that the turn is probably really bad, but what do i do on the flop? Define my hand with a raise? Fold? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
Any other thoughts?

If you're going to fold the river, fold the turn. (And vice-versa ... since you called the turn, I think you have to call the river. I would have folded the turn.) I don't mind how you played the flop here.

[black_drake]

Yeah...if you called the turn, you're not giving him credit for an Ace, so why scared of the 3 on the river. Call it or fold at Turn.

[Ugge]

Okay, would you bet the turn if a non-scare card comes and then fold if he raises or just always check the turn?

[antidan444]

On a turn blank, I think you could do either and be OK.

[jdefoe]

I like betting the turn, and if you get raised, just muck it. As played, i call river, or fold turn

[redickulous]

jde, if you bet turn and he flat calls what is your line oop? are you c/f? This villian has a vpip of 44 and he threw two min raises at you.

[Check_The_Nuts]

Oye, full ring. Sorry just noticed. I'd just check/call the flop, and evaluate from there. There's like 5-6 people in the hand, someone will bet it, and your hand isn't that strong...

buy in for full...
