50NL - AJo river decision

[vixticator]

Bet/fold turn. No King called this flop. Er, well, it's not likely. Except KJ.

Turn check goot, river call goot

why didnt you bet the turn

[/ QUOTE ]

2 handed def fire turn, 3 handed? meh maybe im a nit??...but i def dont hate it

[/ QUOTE ]i pretty much hate it for this EXACT reason. bet folding the turn is good. they call with any J and all those draws as well. then we dont get in weird river spots like this nearly as much

I'd also bet the turn. Flopped flush draws, backdoor flush draws, worse J's, worse pairs, there's a bunch of hands that will call the turn. There's not so many hands that will c/r you, and your hand isn't strong enough to face a c/r, either, so its an easy fold if that happens. I like to control the pot on the turn as much as anyone, but I bet this turn because we'll have trouble getting value on the river and its easier to decide what to do if faced with aggression on the turn.

I'd rather bet/fold the turn. Gets value and protection when we're ahead (which is fairly often) and usually makes the river much easier to play.
