You want to protect your hand and plan practically to get the moneyz in on the turn vs his stack. If you raise this small = giving very good odds for his draws.
The dynamics of the 3 different scenarios I listed in my last post.... As I explained, I'm using this hand as an example of a tough turn spot that I come up against on a regular basis. Not because of my small flop raise, I would usually raise bigger, I guess I wanted MP to come along too in this particular hand and build an even bigger pot but that was probably a mistake. That's not what I'm talking about though.
If, for example, villain is full stacked and I raised to $5-6 on the flop, he calls and the draw-completing card comes in on the flop (flush or straightening card) are we still planning on getting stacks in on the turn still? That is my question. You seem to be concentrating mainly on this specific hand that I posted but, as I said before, I'm just using this hand to illustrate the turn play in a readless situation.
So let's say:
BB: $23.66 (118.3 bb)
UTG: $13.11 (65.6 bb)
MP: $21.62 (108.1 bb)
Hero (CO): $21.48 (107.4 bb)
BTN: $36.45 (182.3 bb)
SB: $20.30 (101.5 bb)
Preflop: Hero is CO with 6

6
UTG folds, MP raises to $0.40, Hero calls $0.40, BTN calls $0.40, SB calls $0.30, BB calls $0.20
Flop: ($2) 8

6

(5 players)
SB checks, BB bets $1.50, MP folds, Hero raises to $5.25, 2 folds, BB calls $3.75
Turn: ($12.50) 3

(2 players)
BB bets $6.50, Hero??????
Sorry if my question is confusing.
Thanks
