Hi

The guy that donks OTF is an aggro spazz reg, the other guy is a fish/semifish ; i decided to raise since i block both bottom and middle set and the reg doesn't have KK pretty much never, he just loves to 3bet, probably doesn't even consider CC pre to keep the fish in the hand.

Reg folds, fish calls. The turn is pretty bad i think, QT completed, KJ beats me, J9 , k9, k8 , etc. Of course there's still a lot of value betting against JT, KX and flush draws. My question is how much to bet, and also we are bet/folding right?

Hi

I think your raise size was sub-optimal. You basically created an awkward stack to pot ratio on the Turn. You guys have around 1.5X left behind.

If your flop raise was $2 more, you have a pot size bet on the Turn and you can just jam it in here. Not the best "value" you have, but it's good for protection and if you just claim the pot right away that's pretty good.

I'm not too worried about straights because QT often folds to your raise. If he has KJ that's really too bad I suppose. I don't think people play T7 too often
