BU- 16/15 over 82 hands, AF 10

Although generally i'm getting called wider because of the positions this guy is pretty tight it seems.

I don't know if in general I should be more or less inclined to raise draws on flop. We can always plan to bet high cards and diamonds but even then.

When we hit turn I contemplated checking since we have some showdown value now but there is still a ton of draws that call us so opted for the bet

Hi legand73

Preflop: looks fine

Postflop: I don't mind raising here given our hand but I think the turn bet should be larger. Afterall if he has a hand that can call he can pay slightly more. And if he is nitty he will fold 2nd pair anyway.

Makes sense.

You don't mind the raise but which do you prefer, raising or calling after we check.

Good question and I should have made it more clear in my first post.

I feel that raising draws that can't stand a 3-bet in a spot where we rep little value is not ideal. NFD here would be an ok raise (we ain't folding it) but with KT what do you do vs a 3-bet?

As an isolated play i'm in favour of calling since this tight guy is mainly raising value hands that crush us but as an overall play raising isn't great if we're playing so weak

When you decide how you want to play your draw you have to account for a few more things:

1) how do you expect villain to continue vs a raise and if you just called (ie: how often he bets turn)
2) how you plan to play the hand on future streets
3) obviously info/history/image.
