I'm mr. imagination when it comes to titles.
Button is 53/5/0.58.
Party Poker 3/6 Hold'em (6 max, 6 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx
Preflop: Hero is BB with 6:club:, 6:spade:.
UTG raises, Button calls, SB calls, Hero calls.
Flop: (8 SB) 4:club:, 5:heart:, 3:heart: (4 players)
SB checks, Hero bets, UTG calls, Button calls, SB calls.
Turn: (6 BB) 6:diamond: (4 players)
SB checks, Hero bets
I intend to fold the river UI if button caps.
Full Version: turned set puts 4 to the straight.
Do you really think button raises that turn without the straight? It's possible, but I doubt it's likely; I think you should just call the turn and call one on the river if you don't fill.

I like this line.
I'm torn. Wait, no I'm not.
Loose, non-superaggressive opponent (I am too lazy to decide how aggressive players w/high VPIPs and low AFs are) raises the turn on a dangerous board.
We're drawing most all the time. I doubt he's raising with 2-pair or folding a deuce when you 3-bet.
Besides, if he just calls the 3-bet, and you fill up, you're only getting 1-bet on the river.
If you call the turn-raise and fill up, you'll almost always get 2-bets on the river, so you don't lose much when you come from behind.
I don't see the logic of the turn 3-bet, but I'd like to hear your thoughts

I think it's no good because you need the SB to come along and get 2 bets called by both villains when you're behind and improve.
Also, if one of them gets frustrated and caps/leads an underset/2 pair you are costing yourself the pot.
Likewise the button may have the ignorant end of the straight (unlikely, but fishy A2 & 22 play this way) and shut down after you raise, leading you to bet again UI on the river.
Against a passive rasing the turn and the SB calling 2 cold I'm not sure you're ahead often enough to make up the difference.
All in all too thin

There's no real logic to this play.
At the time I was thinking that if I was ahead and sb has a flush draw, then I could get an extra bet out of him now in case he missed the river. Same goes for if I'm behind and sb had a fd.
Too bad I'm usually behind and sb usually doesn't have a flush draw. And I can't even take the free card on the river UI.
Luckily I filled up on the river. Party poker rewards donkish plays.
My plan would be to fill up on the river, as well. nh.
