$5.45 pot ($0.23 rake)
Final Board: T K 7 8 Q
SB mucked and won $5.22 ($2.62 net)
Hero mucked A A and lost (-$2.60 net)

I put this guy on a finished straight draw on the river or a set. I think river fold was a no-brainer but should I have folded on villains turn raise?

Please, do not take my word for grant as Im a nobody but as you said already, why you call the raise on the Turn if after you fold the river?

He his good already on the Turn most the time also, what else you think may be improved on the river with Q? QQ?

In my opinion, fold Turn if you do not have a plan for the river (often, we need think ahead and make in count an eventual shove as happened)

NOTE: Please, as said take mine as a "imo" and not any advice for that we waiting for the expert :)

Hello mikah77,

i think we should fold that turn and maybe bet a bit more on flop.

If we call the turn we are somehow committed aren't we? If SB is really a big maniac you can just shove that turn otherwise fold is the best option.

Fold turn at NL5. As played your pretty much commited to call because of pot odds and the missed flush . Even thought your going to lose most of the time after calling.

If you don't want to fold turn , shove over his raise on the turn. Villain is a fish so he probably plays Kx , Txs , random combo draws and all set and 2 pair combos like this. So it can't be that bad. Even folding out combo draws is good for you. I would usually fold in this spot at this limit.
