    Im opedipus bitch, the original balla.
    I don't get the turn c/r. I assumed you were going to shove river anyways, even if you didn't hit two pair? If so, your going to be behind his range so often, and your turn c/r sizing makes a push on the river small, so he is going to call nearly everything he called turn with. Don't c/r turn.

    What he said.

    Also, you're never folding 2p on this board with these stacks and these blinds.

    Thanks guys. I figured I should of put it all in on the turn (hind sight) but just wanted confirmation I did, in fact, screw that one up.

    Considering how shallow the stacks are and how beatable your hand is on the turn, maybe a bet/fold there would be best. If he turns a draw and decides to go nuts with it than more power to him, next hand.

    Yeah I would've bet a little bit on the turn, then went all-in on the river.
    OP: Beginner to Master

    If I bet as a bluff, I should be thinking "am I getting better hands to fold? Is it likely that he will fold x% of the time to a y sized bet to make it +EV?". If I bet for value, I should be thinking "am I getting worst hands to call? Am I ahead of enough of his range that this is a good value bet?".

    Ok so a reverse the situation (since I have been on his side of this before) I was wondering what would you have done in the villian's position facing an all in on the turn?

    Preflop: Hero is SB with J, 5
    Button calls t3000, Hero checks

    Flop: (t13500) 2, Q, 3 (2 players)
    Hero checks, Button checks

    Turn: (t13500) J (2 players)
    Hero checks, Button bets t12000, Hero raises to t36000, Button calls t24000

    River: (t85500) 5 (2 players)
    Hero bets t27792 (All-In), Button calls t27792

    c/c turn because after you check two streets your hand looks weak
    then try to get your stack in on the river since you're at the top of your range

    Honestly I like it as played by the button.

    Turn gives us 12 outs, but we're still a 3:1 dog against pretty much anything. Bet to get your share of FE vs a player who checked 2 streets. We can call if we assume you're not check raising air, because you commit the rest of your stack there. If we miss the river, we don't lose any more, if we hit, we take the rest of your stack.

    If that turn bet is an all in we have to fold, but a lot of people wouldn't fold a 12 outer there.
