What does everyone think of Soaps turn line?

[/ QUOTE ]

it depends what SB did. if he folded the turn, then soap should call the turn raise and check/call a board pair and check/raise a brick.

EDIT: actually, I think that may be the line no matter what SB does, as hero clearly (a) has a set or (b) is drawing dead.

Bob this is bad. Like real bad.

What amuses me most is that OP mentioned, as his reasons for capping, that "the hand will be easier to play." Given you've redefined "losing the maximum" on this hand, I have doubts as the the efficacy of "...will be easier to play."

yeah, you're right. with SB in there, we just need to go bonkers. but if sb folds 4betting this turn is awful. unless you intend to check/fold a river board pair.

bob i think he is implicating that you are being results oriented, which might be somewhat legitimate by the way you formulated your posts TBH

in reality i think just jamming here is the best option, the sb obviously sucks and will continue to play [censored] the rest of the hand, OP is over agg and wont fold so i think jam jam jamming is by far the best option in the given scenario.

if anything, Bob's line is being un-results oriented. Vs. a thinking opponent, 4betting the turn turns your hand face up. It can no longer be KJ+, it is exactly QT. Setting up a nice check/raise on the field is very sexy. However, I disagree that "if sb folds, 4betting this turn is awful". From Soap's POV, "hero" has 5bet pf, and 3bet the turn after heavy flop action. I have no doubt in my mind that "hero" has KK. I don't believe that "hero" will finally fold top set for one more bet on the river, so I def. go ahead and 4bet the turn. OTOH, if he does indeed have KK and we just call the turn, he'll likely put us on JJ/99 and bet the river anyway. So yeah, I guess I actually agree with PBob. Call the 3bet, check/raise the river when the board doesn't pair. You get the same 5BB in with both lines, but in PBob's line, you save a bet when the board pairs.

bingo. putting in 5 bets when we KNOW we have the best hand is much more fun then doing it when we know we never win.

We call on the river hoping there is a 2-3% chance he misread/forgot his hand and has Q9 instead...
