    Default $6.50 Raised AT flops 2nd pair

    The BB was aggro but he's folding like zero of his Kings preflop.

    How is my turn line and is the river a fold? I figure after the call on the turn, he's not gonna bet into a pf raiser again. the sizing looks like a v-bet too.

    Flop c-bet is OK although I don't like c-betting flops with two broadways.

    On the turn and river, personally I c/f both streets, considering opp's likely range after calling your flop bet and firing after you check, plus given your stack size and the proportion of your stack it will now cost to show this hand down, I don't think it's worth it.

    Man I'm a huge calling station but this is a standard check and fold the turn. A jack or queen are pretty much the worst cards in the deck for you because so many hands either made two pair, or flopped a straight draw and turned second pair.

    Any other turn than a Q or J, I'd probably call him down.

    Yep, check-fold the turn

    I'd be a lot happier with just bluffcatching against this sort of villain, rather than betting a flop that will likely have hit him and finding myself having to play a much bigger pot than my hand really warrants. The problem is that he can hit a lot of cards on the turn that are going to look good to him, and won't look all that good to you, and here, you've mostly been tempted into calling down with a second-best hand. So I probably check and call the flop, and as played, fold the turn.

    As it is, you have to call the river though. When you call the turn, you are committing yourself to calling at least small bets on blank rivers, because an aggro player is not checking his turn bluffs behind when you check the river to him again. You surely aren't calling turn to hit your (possible) six outs.

    Flop bet isnt bad, but its hard to continue putting any more money into this hand on this board being oop. I check fold this turn
