I think I'm good here at least 1/4 of the times, and I call. He could do this with any ace

Gotta bet the turn and keep control of the hand IMO.
Really sucks to have to call that river bet when his range includes so much that could beat you, so I'd probably fold.

CaptVimes · #4 12-31-2006, 03:04 PM

I think you need to bet the turn to protect your hand and to try to get a free showdown. Flop is a little drawy the turn makes this board really drawy. I call the river bet here if I have checked the turn. UTG has not given you any reason to suspect he has a hand and is could just be bluffing a busted draw. I think 15 hands is not a enough information to label him a calling station just yet, he certainly is loose preflop though.

yeah i also like a bet on the turn b/c he is a calling station. If he STILL bets into you on the river after the turn bet, then it becomes a whole lot easier of a fold.

OMG! You're Kramer! I'm more than happy to change my avatar if you're offended.

BTW, I'd just call.

How much on the turn ?
The pot is bigger than my stack so my only option is push but this sucks.
I have only 17$ on the TURN.
I don't think I'm ahead on the TURN

Why? It was checked to you twice on flop and turn, how are you so sure you are behind?

Kramer · #9 12-31-2006, 03:27 PM

I was thinking about medium aces ,suited/unsuited connectors,small PP and the flop looked like it hit somebody
+ I had a feeling

What hands do you put UTG on?

PotatoStew · #10 12-31-2006, 03:30 PM

Big hand --> big pot
Small hand --> small pot

Is the hero's hand big or small? Seems small to me. Checking the turn keeps the pot small(er).
