Pre-flop: (4 players) Hero is SB with
UTG calls, Button folds, Hero raises, BB calls, UTG calls.

Flop: (6SB, 3 players)
Hero bets, BB calls, UTG calls.

Turn: T icon_suit_spade.gif (4.5BB, 3 players)
Hero bets, BB raises, UTG folds, Hero ??????

This is a pretty draw heavy board and j10 would probably check-raise. That said, I still don't know jack about this guy as waiting for the turn to raise with trips is a reasonable play too.

Prolly just call down for info.
mikeysong
calling down for info is not a good enough argument imo.

if I 3bet the turn and he folds the river, I can most likely assume he's the type who waits til the turn to semibluff. I got my info right there biggrin.gif

but what if I get capped? urgh.

I think there's definitely a strong argument for 3-betting, btw, but vs an unknown, what I quoted is the main problem. Is he dumb enough to cap JT? Like, I prolly sacrifice a bit of value to call down one time.
