What do you do with this turn

Postby GooperMC » Wed Oct 12, 2005 9:46 pm

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (9 handed)

Button ($47.50)
SB ($23.75)
BB ($56.20)
UTG ($50)
UTG+1 ($39.89)
MP1 ($144.55)
Hero ($49.25)
MP3 ($68.20)
CO ($48.50)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with [Qs], [Qc]. SB posts a blind of $0.25.
UTG calls $0.50, 2 folds, Hero raises to $3, 5 folds, UTG calls $2.50.

Flop: ($6.75) [9c], [Jd], [3h] (2 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets $6, UTG calls $6.

Turn: ($18.75) [Jh] (2 players)
UTG checks, Hero ????

My opponent has been weak tight, and showed down some questionable hands (TPNK). What do you do with this turn? What is your plan for the river?

hero checks behind, then calls a reasonable river bet or folds to a very large bet

I check the turn because I have position.

Say the river is a brick and opponent checks again. It's pretty rare when an opponent will check a super strong hand on the river after checking the turn. He wants to get paid and will fear you checking behind.

I checked. River was [2h] and he lead 3/4 pot in me. What do you do now?

I also talk to him to see if he'll show or tell me. I'd want to note if this guy is the type who checks when he's just made his hand.

Thanks for the input guys. I recently realized I have been playing too weak tight since I move up to the $50 tables and I wanted to make sure the turn check, river fold wasn't another instance of this.
