Getting involved in that $1.50 pot after a $12 turn bet by SB can't be a good thing.

Welcome to NL btw. And...6max is where it's at bro.

You're brand new to NL, so I won't berate you too bad for the minraise on the turn [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

The turn is usually a fold, but a push isn't that awful. Given turn action, river is an automatic call (although pushing is still better than checking and calling).

Oh yeah my thoughts...sb is very loose is all I can confidently say about him after 15ish hands. like 70+vpip, and utg hadn't done anything to attract my attention. I think the turn raise is very bad. Just call the first turn bet and possibly check river behind if it bricks?

A turn call is bad because the SB's bet is insanely large and you've still got another player to act behind you.

bet flop, fold to a reraise, or check flop fold turn. Even calling his turn bet is spew.
