6max A2s BvB turn decision Top pair+gutshot

Hi AA91EST,

without a strong read I don't think you can go round folding the turn in this spot, it is tough as his range is less capped than yours. however Ax is pretty much the top of your range here so if you're folding A2 on the turn you're just folding too much, although balance isn't exactly important you still need to realise that if you're folding A2 here there are so few hands you're not folding, and therefore should you even be calling preflop?

If you call preflop and don't flop a top pair or better (i generally would rather flop a FD in this spot so i tend to think of FD as better) you're just folding the flop, so that will be around 60% of the time, then if you're folding 75-80% of the range you called the flop with on the turn you've basically folded 90+% of the time you called preflop by the turn (that's without doing the maths, which im sure isn't difficult). anyway that's just some food for thought. (also dont forget you can improve on the river)

I would tend to peel turn and evaluate river, would probably fold spades since this player seems like the type to bet flop & turn with a spade draw, would call if i rivered 2pair and raise if i rivered a straight (probably just call if it was a spade straight and he bet large), and even though it doesnt really change much I would call if i rivered trips just because it means he has much less combos of Ax. You can generally get a feel for how strong he is based on river sizing too. So I don't think you necissarily need to have a plan on the turn for wether you call the river, it all depends on the card that peels off and his bet sizing/timing

I agree with fitzinator18. I just wanted to add that it is still SB vs BB, so the ranges are quite wide. If u call Ax pre, and hit the A, what else u could even want ♦? Yeah call flop if u called pre to keep his wide range in, call turn and call a lot of rivers as well
