No, on the turn, I expect to get paid by AQ (partially paid) and KQ, and TT, (20 hands). The other hands I'm going to pay on the river anyways(AJ, JJ, 99, KK, AA).

I think villain's turn bet is interesting because it is small enough to not commit hero to the pot, and gives villain maximum FE to push the river. It is also consistent with pricing many drawing hands like AT, AK, etc.

I think villain's range has to include AT, AK and many pairs, and that villain should expect some FE from TT and other pairs when he pushes the river.

I disagree w/ everything you said, like literally.

That said, I really have to do work and I just dont have the patience to disagree w/ you every thread.

when i said reraise pf i had no idea you 3 were in ep, that is somewhat unclear from your OP. i thought limper was on button and mlg raised from the sb.

obviously now i wouldn't reraise PF, but, uh, i'm not sure what to do postflop here because MLG isn't doing this with a worse made hand but also is totally unafraid to 3 barrel shove here, which is why i tend to raise the flop and try to get it in and hope for the best. his bet sizing looks like he's setting up for a river shove which just makes your life hell.. i dunno. sorry, this post is kinda worthless.

Joe,

MLG is checking the turn with AA/AQ/KQ/TT almost ALL the time.

Just so everyone knows, MLG's turn bet is pretty smallish. He bet 1180 into 2200.

Nobody seems to have mentioned why they think MLG would do that.

I was gonna say "to set up a pot-sized river shove" but it's a little small for that

It is less a of a fold because it's MLG. Isn't it more of a fold because it's Funkii?
