1/2 NL: I'm a folding machine

[Proofrock]

Villain is 30/20 over less than 100 hands. Folding the turn seems weak but may be right. I'm not ahead here 1 time in 3 on the river, am I?

i play it the same way.

I'd cbet flop+b/f turn.

a) villain will fold pretty often on the flop
b) if I catch a A/K on the turn and get raised I'm done with the hand.

If i check the flop im also checking this turn.

i agree with this.

OP, why call the turn raise if you are going to fold a blank river?

[HoldEmNewby]

flop is an easy cbet.

i agree with thedivinerod with regards to check line.

Why is that? I'm inclined to cb less when I have a longshot draw to the nuts on a board that likely hit my opponent's range with a hand that is either the best now or can easily improve to be the best but can't stand a check-raise. What's the mistake here?

Why? I mean, on the turn we picked up TPTK and it put a flush draw on the board, a check-raise is unlikely, and there are certainly worse hands that will call a bet, maybe two.

This is such an easy fold...we beat like NOTHING here. Do you guys really see villain getting this aggressive with AJ or worse?

(1) My hand can improve -- 9 outs isn't enough to draw by itself, but I'll at least call a river bet if my hand improves.

(2) There's a chance I'm ahead on the turn. Think of it as re-evaluating -- I'm almost never ahead when he pots the river, but I am often ahead if he checks or throws out a blocker.
