10NL: Two hands for teh reviews

[Gobbatino]

1. No reads here, Villain sat down 4 hands ago. A million draws complete on the turn and I'm with a straight and straight flush gutshot. I'm dead to a better straight or flush. Is it worth even calling the turn?

1. I fold the turn. His completed straight steals one of my outs, and lots of club hands probably beat me.

2. I shove the turn; if I lose I'm still at ~90bb. MP might have Jx or 88, but we're still not sure AND he gets a free card to hit his flush. Ouch.

1. Call and re-evaluate river. You have a straight with a back door open ended straight flush draw.

2. Check raise here is tough because you have to act first on the turn. What do you do if villain calls you? Being villain only has $4 dollers behind AND he didnt shove back. It makes me think he doesnt have the jack. I would have c/c turn, bet river.

-Side note, why not just bet the flop? Your check raise put him to a decision for his stack. Lucky for you he didn't move in and force you to fold.

NOOOOOOOOO!!!

Agree w/ this on #1. With #2, just bet the flop 2/3's psb. The typical Jx HU line will be call flop, raise turn (multiway Jx shoves), so play it careful on the turn.
