QJ hits top pair on drawy board vs jalexand42

[goofyballer]

CO is jalexand42, running at about 23/20. I'm a nit (like 16/14) and we talk poker a lot so he knows this. We tend to stay out of each others' way at the tables.

Hero needs a plan

Just for fun, evaluate the best action in each of these two scenarios (as well as whether I should check or bet turn):

Turn: ($144) 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 Players)
Hero checks, <font color="red">CO bets $110</font>, Hero...

Turn: ($144) 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 Players)
<font color="red">Hero bets $110</font>, <font color="red">CO is all-in $424</font>

If I bet turn and he calls, or if I check-call turn, what's my river plan? I assume I'm checking pretty much any riv since I don't see myself getting called on a 3barrel with worse hands here and all I can really do is bluffcatch. So, I'm c/f any spade? What about 5/7/8/T/J/K since any of those complete a possible OESD or double gutter?

[nutsflopper]

Don't chk/call turn. Bet/allin riv if you know he always raises turn obv.

[Barrin6]

C/r turn on the 1st one. I'm like 100% sure you are ahead here on both situations.

[Parlay Slow]

bet/fold works here

[Unknown Soldier]

depends on the other players in the hands, would you suspect that he would raise a draw on the flop? because i doubt you're getting much value out of worse pairs if you bet the turn

agree. and i probably cf the river if called.

[DJ Sensei]

i think bet-fold too. if he's gonna make a move on you with a worse hand, its probably gonna be on the flop. unless you've got a high 2-barrel frequency in this spot.

yep.

there's two players behind jalex on the flop. if he's making a move, it's pretty sick. i'd put him on AQ/KQ here a lot though.

I don't mind b/f at all. I like c/f as well, fwiw. Checkraising the turn would basically be a bluff (which may work, but I wouldn't be too sure).
