Dumb question, but why doesn't this have a "previous" link to episode 13? (Episode 13 doesn't link forward to 14 either.)

You'd need to contact Rusty (TazUltimate) about that. Try sending him a PM.

I don't think we should fold on the turn, because villain's value range of better hands is pretty narrow, if he is raising about 12% UTG(he might be adjusting because of the fish, though) pretty much the only Tx hand that villain could have is ATs and there are only 1 combo of it, TT is 1 combo as well and JJ,55 makes 6 combos. Since we don't have any read on his flop betsizing(like you said it just could be that he isn't good enough to realize that our calling range is quite inelastic), he could still have hands like AdKd, KdQd, AdQd and worse value combos KK,QQ.

If have no betsizing read an If Villans brokerange is looking like this one I agree with Branch10.

Board: TdTh5sJd
Equity Win Tie
MP2 43.39% 41.12% 2.27% { KK-QQ, AdAs, JhJs, JhJc, JsJc, TsTc, 5d5h, 5d5c, 5h5c, Ts9s, Tc9c }
MP3 56.61% 54.34% 2.27% { AhAc }

Tim do u think he would bet any hand we have beat different to justify a fold?

Could you please explain a little bit deeper why calling FD+pair on the turn is better than betting (scaring villans weak hands away and narrowing his range to very strong hands?).
Ty for helping!

In retrospect I don't think a call on the turn can be bad outside of an exceptional circumstance, or rather a call on the turn could be mandatory. If we could credibly read more into his sizing we could think about not continuing but speculation probably isn't enough as some people do just bet that size on the flop as standard. It's important to also consider that villain's range can't just be broken down into his PFR %+his cbet %s. His range will change based on the table, his position (both starting an relative to villain(s)) and how he perceives villain(s). This is a general point and not specific to this hand. You should always add in to your consideration not just the numbers but how you think villain will act vs you specifically.

It won't be the best line 100% of the time but in general the problem with betting is that we're typically in a spot where we have showdown value+equity but not enough to continue vs a raise, which can often leads us to folding the best hand/wasting our equity. We're also going to be check/giving up in this spot a lot, this gives us a chance to balance our checking range and allows villain to bet his floats/start bluffing.

Lets look at some hypothetical examples of when this might be a good or bad line:

Villain is a TAG, we have AK and raise the CO, villain calls the BTN, blinds fold. Flop is A59, we bet and villain calls, turn is T - villain isn't going to double float us here very often at all, is going to fold plenty of worse made hands and should have plenty of bluffs and if villain takes his option to check back we're not risking a worrisome freeroll.

Villain is a passive fish, we have AK and raise the CO, villain calls the BTN, blinds fold. Flop is A59, we bet and villain calls, turn is T - we need to continue betting here, villain is passive and isn't going to start bluffing a wide range, he probably isn't even going to semi-bluff his draws, of which has plenty and will just call again with all of them. Checking a non-diamond river would, however, be a pretty good idea.

Thank you for breaking it down!!!!!!!!

This KTo spot: is there merit in expecting unknown regs to use the K as a good blufcard to make a delayed double barrel to make PP's/AT/AQ fold? So that the SB his bluf is a good blufspot? Or cant I suppose this readless from someone when being the SB?

I think that's just FPS on SB's part. Bet/check/bet is rarely a bluff from another reg, the circumstances have to be different to this in some ways. Hero probably checks a lot of showdown value so he just has Kx a ton of the time and trying to make him fold a guessed-at bluffing range+maybe a weak Kx just isn't worth it.
