Cash, A,J off utg 5 handed. Turn decision.

Raise UTG 5 handed ok?

Flop betsizing on relatively dry flop is just over half pot to balance my c-bet betsizing on these boards.

Turn, is check/call better or do i lead again and is it too small? When the min raise comes am i beat?

Reads? Villain seems new to site or at this level anyway and only played him a couple of times, seemed a bit fishy at first but played tighter this time around. Doesnt normally limp, usually comes in with a raise if opening so have him down as a player who is ok for this level. Didnt buy in for full amount though.

    raise in EP is fine imo

    flop bet is fine maybe make it a touch more though

    I dont understand your turn sizing it is weak and looks weak. No idea if the villain has picked up on this or if he just has a set... (they usually have a set!:)

    As played... ugh.... I hate folding so i prob just get it in... but this is probably wrong and the cash purists will say it's a fold

    I think turn sizing is fine against his stack. 

    fold now. 

    Leeds 4/1 today btw??? U got no players again?? Silly price!

    I didnt realise that the turn bet was half pot, thought it was less than this.. so its not too bad, but if i am betting i bet slightly more.

    I dont mind checking the turn either. get value on the end if we are still good.

    Played it fine. You have a pretty weak hand for UTG but there's no fold AJo so raise pre is fine, what else you going to do limp!? Flop is very dry indeed so a half pot bet is a good bet. You are looking to get action from a weak ace.

    Turn is unlikely to have helped the villian. Again I don't min a half pot bet on the turn since you want to keep the pot small with top pair and a ok kicker. Sometimes I like to check in these spots depending on the villian if I think they will semi-bluff the river with a hand like 99 or KQ. You will get more value since the only hand that will probably call 3 streets on such a dry board is another ace.

    Once you get check-raise then I'm afraid it's a fold. If he's bluffing you then so be it, let him have it. This is more than likely a set and if you fold now you've lost the minimum.

    DOHHHHHHH, i told you not to back us to go up this year. I'm telling you now, NEVER EVER back Leeds to beat Cardiff. Odds dont matter, its just a big fat NO!

    Back us to go up next year mate. Its on and you might get a good price if you do it early before the new squad takes shape. Its not often i back Leeds to do anything but i am telling you its on next year.

    I'd def bet bigger on turn - could be viewed as weak bet
    is a fold but I wouldn't be surprised if you were ahead here

    min raise mmmm and its a blank turn cant be 3 5 looks like 2 pair or a set imo its a fold
