What you see here is me trapping with air. I say trapping, because even though I was likely to be behind, the fold equity was being held in a monster line for me to utilize. The board paired the turn, which was the card of opportunity. He told me he was unlikely to have the Q, I had 6 live outs, and I took the right line to the equity. That's why this worked. I bet $1 on the turn with a purpose, not as a feeble attempt to take down the pot. He was not bluffing when he raised to $7. He had a hand to call with. He was pissed about folding.
