Hi, i wanted know:

1)calling turn to giveup river is sick and why?
2)i serioulsly thought folding turn directly but i thought it would discourage many calling bluffs
3)betting size?

It would help to know what the card on the turn was if it's 4c I'm calling fosho !

Can you plz post any notes and the fold to 3bet stat? Thanks

without further reads im giving a nit like that credit here for having it and fold on the turn

Calling those fishy minraises cost me so much money and brought me so many tilt situations that I'm folding OTT vs this player.

you're not thinking about his range enough. it's important if you're folding, but even moreso if you're calling. don't just call and hope he gives up - think about which hands raise and how they continue

Ya... in my experience you get two different hand groups that do this stuff:

1. Weaker player type w med strength hands - they'll raise here because they're not sure what to do with a medium to weak strength hand, and want to protect their hand (equity). So I've seen ppl min raise here with hands like 66 and chk the river.

2. Very strong hands - obviously trying to get value.

It might be worth assigning some % of range to hands like A6 for example - that decide to bluff the turn with added equity, and of course there's always some spaz factor if the villain is insane.

Shoving the turn is good IMO if you think that he's likely to semibluff the turn but not bluff the river. If you've seen him get aggro on the turn (note that he didn't raise the flop) with draws and bluff the river with busted draws, obv calling is better to bluffcatch.

If your villain is a decent reg AA is only a bluffcatcher on the river unfortunately.
