What was this action? Very important in this spot.

My first thoughts are I am definitely not folding this at least. Your hand range includes a lot of draws like QJ, JT, 87 etc. so I shove. There are many possible action killers on the river so why wait.

I would push also he raised from UTG so its very likely for him having AK/AQ here

Darkfolder · #4 10-22-2007, 07:42 AM

But why on earth would he c/r the turn with AK here? I think this is a fold to be honest, especially since the QJ-draw got there.

Immy · #5 10-22-2007, 07:48 AM

push\fold? - no call?

freshpoker · #6 10-22-2007, 07:55 AM

He prob has QJ, but be a donk and call and hit an 8 on the river. GG.

I think this is a pretty common line for regulars. They don't want to get raised if they bet again, yet feel that it is too weak to c/c the turn so they check/raise.

I def may fold this, depending on previous action with villian.
