I think the turn is a call since the gutshot plus trip outs give us decent equity vs. even a conservative range. But you might want to fold the flop, or raise/fold the flop if you are pessimistic.

I'm basing my range on this particular player, not on his stats. His preflop aggression came from a lot of open-raising and raising, not a lot of three-betting.I think KQ is a plausible holding, which adds 6 more combos that I beat.

why did you bet the river if you were going to fold for two?

was wondering why no one mentioned this yet

I don't know how much time you've spent at .5/1, but i am expert at that level. it plays so much different than the higher stakes that i wouldn't spend too much time trying to beat it. fwiw, i don't think c/ring 22 is a great play here. just bet it the whole way against a loose player or call down against an aggressive player.at a different level, your turn c/r could get someone to make a bad fold, but that isn't going to happen very often here.

daniel, thanks for the feedbacki wouldn't mind checking this flop if i was sure button would bet. he was really passive though, and i was afraid of giving a free card to something like 9 T .but i think even this guy will bet when checked to on the turn since the T probably gave him a hand (or at least a decent draw) if he didn't have one already.good point about the river, because if i check/raise i can't give this guy enough credit to fold to a 3-bet, so it could get expensive.

that's the point. the pot is huge and i'd love to get someone to (incorrectly) fold a gutshot or other week draw. all i know about button is he is 45/25/2 after about 50 hands and he hasn't capped preflop yet

take it from an economistbetting stragegies, absent of card counting, change expected value in proportion to the size of the bet

three-betting the turn would be OK

Foxwoods isn't party poker. They run a few (maybe 4) 10/20 games, and there is no regular hold'em game bigger than 20/40.

the ace outs aren't that dirty ... AQ is a raise preflop even from most passive types, so AT and KJ would kill my fun. still, it would be better to draw on a Q62 board.

with your budget ($200 per month) you should definately start online and start small. if NL is your thing, play the $10 buy-in games and work it up to $500, then play $25 NL. Keep moving up when you have 20 buyins for the next level.
