You have to call turn. Two pair could improve fullhouse and then you beat his straight. Folding river would be fine. One thing more: if BB first cap the flop and then check the turn wouldn´t it be strange! I would check behind. Mostly you are not ahead here and he check-raises you.


Definitely bet the turn

BUT what is much much more important

RAISE OR FOLD WHEN YOU ARE FIRST IN

When you are the first to act and nobody entered the pot before you, please play raise or fold.

I know what you were thinking probably you were playing according to the Starting Hands Chart (SHC) and then you get KJ two face cards that look good when you get it and you want to play it. But then you see: "Hey it is not listed in the SHC!" but i think i can limp in.

And this is a much bigger mistake.

Later on in the silver section there is another chart which tells you to raise KJ first in in MP3.

All in all i recommend just to stick to SHC. I know it is very tight and sometimes even boring. But it helpes you so much at the beginning.
We will get a bit loose later on. For Fixed Limit it is really important to play the TAG style to play profitable longterm.


I see what you are saying...
Man, I make still so many mistakes.
Thanks for having an eye for the important things!
