    Default Do we fold now? Marginal turn spot versus a fish.

    Villain just sat down a couple orbits ago and seems quite bad, but also quite passive. He's playing a lot of hands and not folding much. I can't imagine he's ever checking the river after the turn raise, so is there any point to calling the turn if we're not calling a river bet?

    No-Limit Hold'em, $2.00 BB (5 handed) - Hold'em Manager Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    SB ($244.15)
    BB ($185)
    UTG ($262.05)
    MP ($225.45)
    Hero (Button) ($224.80)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with 6, 8
    UTG bets $6, 1 fold, Hero calls $6, 2 folds

    Flop: ($15) 9, 5, 4 (2 players)
    UTG checks, Hero bets $9, UTG calls $9

    Turn: ($33) 7 (2 players)
    UTG checks, Hero bets $26, UTG raises $52, Hero is trying to stay calm despite the dreaded c/minraise.

    Whenever a fish does this to me I want to kill myself. I would probably call and fold any board pairing river or heart to a bet.

    I usually fold turn then quit the session before I can tilt. As played I'd snap fold river

    Looking at the hand I say call turn and fold river... in the moment I probably call both cause who knows how crazy these donks overvalue their hands.

    Why would you call turn, fold river? He's going to be betting the river a huge % of the time, isn't this just burning $26?

    I wanna say fold turn because I often get shown the nuts here, buttt sometimes I see whales doing this with like 88,66 two pair, sets, 67s to price a showdown.

    That min-raise is the scariest move a fish can make, and its always the nuts but because he's bad he could play his sets and 2 pairs like this sometimes too, so i call turn and fold this river.

    I'd call a small bet on a blank river. I'd fold now but I wouldn't be very surprised to see a bluff when he bets that big on this river.

    Lol I'm just saying that I'm a little suspicious. I'd still like to have a little more reads before I'm going to station away though.
