Hello!

IPoker, $0.05/$0.10 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players

BB: $5.61 (56.1 bb)
UTG: $9.95 (99.5 bb)
MP: $18.14 (181.4 bb)
CO: $19.99 (199.9 bb)
Hero (BTN): $10.08 (100.8 bb)
SB: $10.15 (101.5 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BTN with A 8
3 folds, Hero raises to $0.23, SB calls $0.18, BB folds

Flop: ($0.56) T 8 3 (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $0.33, SB calls $0.33

Turn: ($1.22) A (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $0.80, SB raises to $2.53, Hero folds

Preflop: Standard raise from the BTN. Got a call from the regular on the SB. He mostly has pocket pairs and broadways. Maybe suited connectors sometimes.

Flop: Floped a 2nd pair and am betting for value. When he called, think he has a pair and overcards most of the time. Maybe AT-AK.

Turn: Nice card for me because it gives me two pairs. Betting for value, but then he raised big. Think that with AJ-AK he would rather check/call again. But maybe he wants to protect his TP against draws. Anyway, this move seems like he is very strong so I think AT and sets are very possible in this situation, so decided to fold.

SB: 21/17/67/0/2,5/179 (VPIP/PFR/FtST/FtFlopCB/AF/H)

Hey Alleen86,

Preflop open-raise is fine.

Purely in terms of theory the turn is probably a defend vs x/r here. But exploitatively I think your decision to fold to turn x/r is completely correct despite improving to 2pair.
