Mixed emotions...

2/4 nl on ftp (6 handed)

effective stacks : $520

MP seems monkey like. His preflop range is all over the place and his variance has been up and down $500 within 4 orbits. He is not afraid to bluff nor overbet his good hands. Probably his only strong points.

CO seems 2p2 type TAG. Fairly aggressive when c-betting but definetly will throw a curveball often enough to keep his play tricky.

MP limps, CO raises to $18, I call out of BB with J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. MP calls.

($56) Flop comes J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].

Was very confused on which line is best here. All options have possibility. Also am ready to stack off here or should I try to get to the turn cheaply before making that type decision? Lastly does the A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] on board make any difference at all in regards to adding strength to our hand?

Future action to come....

With a medium-good hand on a flop where betting ranges are going to be pretty strong, ranges for calling a cr are going to be super strong leading and the turn can really [censored] you up leading is way the best option imo.

Yea I agree that leading here is best. C/Ring flop seems very bad, and I feel dirty c/cing.

shameless of me I know....

If you lead are you folding to a raise?

meh just don't checkraise and I certainly am not "ready to stack off"

when ppl wanna get all the $ in on this board your hand is not very strong. that said, you can get a lot of value out of top pair/pair+gutty calling you down.

You should really fold pf

Hoped this hand would have gotten more interest......oh well.

I decided to check and see what develops. I was ready to fold if MP bets and CO raises. Also I was ready to c/r if MP bets and CO folds. Not sure if that is smart but at the time that is what went through my head.

I check, MP checks and CO bets $50. I call and MP folds.

($156) Turn is 4d.

Donk here? Now should I look to get my money in? Can I find a fold?
