I feel like these spots are a leak of mine so Im not going to comment, but curious to hear others.

Calling turn and folding river is bad unless you think he's not likely to fire a third barrel with a missed draw. The only other reason for a call-down is to perhaps get a better read on his play and snap off the occasional bluff.

You could raise the turn and go for a free showdown, obviously folding to a 3bet. This however might open the door for a 3-bet bluff by villain, although I don't think many player have that play in their arsenal.

Folding can't be that bad either. We're drawing dead or to 6-outs a big % of the time.

The eight is pretty bad since the oesd now paired up, and he will value bet it. But since I got there and it's a paired board, I think I call it purely out of curiosity.

Yeah, me too. I think I call down here too much given my image, which is probably quite showdowny. If I was BB I would fire again with air on the river if I thought you were capable of folding A high. What was your image like?

Also, that T on the turn is a pretty good card for you as it makes it less likely villain holds a T. I think you should be more inclined to show down here than if the turn was a J or 9 for example.

Obviously thats a really bad river card since it hits both OESDs on the flop and it his all top end gutshot draws. I think you played this hand well every street.

[Unphased]

I am suprised nobody 3 bets the flop here. I like free showdowns on drawheavy boards. 3-bet flop, bet the turn fold to a raise and take a free river seems like its saving you a half a bet when you're behind and makes it easy to fold. Also, he could possibly fold the turn with his 97o.

I like a flop 3 bet on this draw heavy board.

You can't fold the turn after just calling the flop. You actually like that T a little bit. BUT if you 3bet the flop and he caps and leads, then you CAN fold. That's why 3betting the flop is the best line here. Then keep firing on the turn if he checks, although a donk here would be very problematic and probably force you to fold absent any reads. If he calls turn bet you are almost certainly losing and can fold river UI if you don't get your free SD.

I don't think that he will fold a 7 here. Anyway i would prefer to 3 bet flop and lead turn. Mostly he will have some draw and this way makes the hand easier to play.
