Full Tilt PokerLimit Holdem Ring gameLimit: $5/$104 playersConverterPre-flop: (4 players) econ_tim is BB with T K UTG raises, Button folds, SB calls, econ_tim calls.Flop: J 2 Q (6SB, 3 players)SB checks, econ_tim checks, UTG bets, SB folds, econ_tim calls.Turn: 6 (4BB, 2 players)econ_tim checks, UTG bets, econ_tim raises, i usually just c/r the flop, but sometimes i switch up my play. now that i got a good turn what do you think of c/r-ing a tight and possibly weak opponent?

I can dig it.The fact that it's an UTG raise somewhat worries me, however. Is this opponent aggressive preflop, and weak postflop?

If you ever were going to check-raise the turn with a drawing hand, this seems like as close to an ideal situation as you can get. You might have 21 outs here, more likely 14-18, so it is a strong semi-bluff, but if the opponent is weak tight as you say, I think fold equity probably makes up for the times you are only drawing to the straight.

I like it against a weak/tight player. But him being UTG kinda worries me as he probably hit at least a draw, if not more on that flop, which may hurt your chances to win right now, but you do have a ton of outs.I think its very unlikely, but whats your action if he 3bets?

I'd rather checkraise the flop, personally.

You're betting the river too right?Entire hand looks good to me.

I usually do this too after it gets HU. I probably call and c/r the turn (even if the FD doesn't come in) like 25%.

all looks ok to me in a lot of spots--pretty ideal situation for a semibluff. just make sure that you're only bothering with semibluffs against players that have shown you that they are capable of the b/f turn (or folding to river continuation) line. but you probably know that.

what hands call the turn and fold the river ?I guess enough to bet 1 more into an 8 BB pot.... ?ok, I'm down.
