$114: QQ

[darinvg]

Unknown villain. Should I be raising the turn? Now there's one card to the straight on the river (plus a ton of other stuff) but I'm getting great odds. Call?

Tough spot. I think calling the turn is fine.

I think I would fold the river because you have just ~650 left when you call and lose.

[sean457j]

Why has the BB suddenly taken an interest in the hand on the turn? It looks like the villain is trying to extract value from a full house (or I suppose he could have made the flush on the flop and is now trying to see how you react to his bets).

However this maybe some bluff made to look like a value bet, saying that I would probably give it up on the river.

What hands can we beat on the end here? AJ, KJ?

This early, I would consider folding the turn. I think the deck has hit him over the head and he's extracting value. We've got no re-draw and have no idea where we are in the hand. A turn raise commits half our stack while possibly drawing super slim. Find a better spot.

Don't raise the turn, we're likely behind &amp; can't afford to bloat the pot. Calling is fine, folding the river is best.

Calling on the river is probably -EV but I wouldn't be surprised if you called and won. His line looks super fishy like he wants you to fold an overpair. I would still fold though, if you call and lose its a big % of your stack.

Fine as played. River is very close. I probably call vs. an unknown. Worrying about how much you have left after a call is bad thinking. This early it should be pure cEV (minus whatever you think your edge is of course).

river is easy fold

Does any one like a flop check? I occasionally do that in cash games on such a draw heavy board.
