Default Combo draw - how to play it

Villain is 32/20/1.5 over ~150 hands. Has been seen peeling a lot of flops in position and betting the turn. I've also played one big pot with him earlier this session.

I guess I played this one pretty weak. I was thinking I didn't have any fold equity on the turn and that my outs are pretty tricky. Also, at the time I felt I might be able to bluff if the QJ draw hit (dunno how realistic that is though).

Final pot: $2110


He has like 2100-2200 behind after betting the turn. I would guess his range is something like T9/AJ/KJ/QQ(unlikely)/set/air, with Jx being his most likely hand IMO. What I'm really wondering about is - what's the strongest play here? Would I (would you) push the turn with an overpair here? Fwiw, he should be thinking I might be frustrated with him.

Hand 1 is fine, Hand 2, meh I think a call is marginal at best. Flop call is bad i think.

Isn't a flop call pretty standard against an aggressive opponent? 170 more 150bb deep in position with a gutshot + backdoor flush draw...

A call on the turn marginal at best? I'm getting direct pot odds to draw to my 15 outs. The question is what's the best line on the turn - call or push.

I prefer calling even though a push sure is sexy and good for metagame if that how you use to play sets in spots like this and he might tilt a bit if he calls (prob with a big hand) and you draw out on him.

However, if you call and miss you might be able to steal the pot on the river a decent amount of the time since you have pretty much money left and position.

Also, all your outs (esp the straight-outs) are well disguised so he might fire again if you hit so calling seems superior.

If you where OOP and/or your outs was not that disguised my vote should much more likely be on the push.

standard call on both flop and turn (and you definitely can't fold the turn).

Default Re: Combo draw - how to play it

flop is good

turn is a call. you can be realyl strong here for sure since the board is so dry (getting wetter on the turn, but pretty pedestrian). verty important to kno w how much he likes to play one pair hands fast oop, if h can have QJ here, etc, bc some guys can't obv.

i would call the turn, and shove almost all rivers when checked to

I dunno if he can have QJ. I've only played with him for like an hour or so. From what I've seen, I would say he is the player who will mix it up with all different kinds of hands. Minraise top pair, cold call set on a drawy flop. Tricky. QJ/TJ possible, AJ/KJ very possible.

Most people seem to think a turn call is in order. So... here we are. Call/fold/raise?
