Hi TerrorBlade,
the board is pretty dry so he can fold a lot hands if you raise. I anyway like to raise somewhere as he won't go to showdown if he has nothing too.
So this makes me raise the turn.
But I don't see it as a big mistake to play it as you did to prevent folding the best hand if he is a LAG or so who likes to 3-bet his draws (which we can't know as he is unknown).
Against wich hands would you raise the turn? I don't see a lot of worse hands calling here and better hands won't fold. Hands with 6 outs like AT can fold, but is that worth it in this small pot?
Hi SeaJaws,
sure a passive line is not bad and I don't think that it's a big different between it but I see him calling a few A-highs down as a flushdraw is available also. Additionally some smaller pairs.
