Quick question about protecting your hand
Just a silly question about protecting a TPTK hand: can the board be too wet to do it?
Example: PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1 BB (6 handed) CO ($97.15) Button ($101.30) SB ($98.21) BB ($136.85) UTG ($116.60) Hero ($114.81) Assume loose/passive villain. Preflop: Hero is MP with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $3.5</font>, CO calls $3.5, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>. Flop: ($8.50) 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $7.5</font>, CO calls $7.5. Turn: ($23.50) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> Hero... Normally I would bet, or is this simply too threatening a flop to protect against? |

Re: Quick question about protecting your hand
vs a loose/passive villain, I fire the turn here 100% of the time. That 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] is perfect. Fold to a raise though.
Edit: Also, it's not protecting here, it just value betting. |

Re: Quick question about protecting your hand
I was more concerned with firing another one on the turn... I normally bet, but the wettest boards seem to get me in trouble.

This spot sucks. I probably bet $16 and fold to a raise.
Check call a blank river if called. A strong made hand is most likely raising this turn. Check fold a river completing the flush or making a 4 straight. |

There's no general rule on the turn in these sorts of spots, but I think it's worth one more bet in this case. |
