I probably call the river at >3:1. He could have A8 or 77-TT.
Not sure I like the check/raise on the turn... .not sure I DISLIKE it either... just not sure.

Probably just lead the turn for $3, and decide if I want to continue if he shows any serious agression.

I feel like being out of position, he could have just as easily had A8. But then again he could have easily had AK or 88.

I check-raised because I thought he might have just had KK88-A or something. But his constant aggression had me pretty convinced I was beat.

If I just called the turn, what was my course of action for the river? Maybe leading out for 1/2 the pot?

Edit:* Now that I think about it, his river bet of 1/3 the pot seems kind of weak to be holding a K or 88, unless he was trying to induce a raise?

yah that sounds like a better course of action then check-raising the turn and having to face a larger then necessary call on the river, when i very well may have the best hand, but since out of position puts me in a tough spot.

good to know.

Turn cr sucks. Realize that by cr'ing the turn you are essentially bluffing, but no better hands will fold. Also, consider checking this flop.
