    Default ATs turn hammer vs thinking player

    My opponent here is easily the strongest player I've run into in these games.
    Profile:
    o Fairly tight
    o Will limp and min-raise, mixed with 3x openers
    o Likes to under-bet. Lots of 1/2 pot type bets
    o Yet to see him really make a really loose call

    He knows I'm pretty aggro and we've been at it on 2 tables.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (6 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

    MP ($42.95)
    CO ($139.25)
    Button ($130.35)
    SB ($35.50)
    Fnord ($148.45)
    UTG ($39.10)

    Preflop: Fnord is BB with T, A.
    UTG calls $1, 1 fold, CO calls $1, 2 folds, Fnord raises to $4, UTG folds, CO calls $3.

    Flop: ($9.50) 4, 2, 3 (2 players)
    Fnord bets $7, CO calls $7.

    Turn: ($23.50) J (2 players)
    Fnord checks, CO bets $10, Fnord raises to $40, CO calls $30.

    River: ($103.50) 8 (2 players)
    Fnord checks, CO bets $88.25 (All-In), Fnord folds.

    Final Pot: $191.75

    I don't like the turn CR. What are you repping here? It puts you in a horrible spot on the river if you get called and miss your draw. I like either leading for 3/4 pot or check/calling, but I think I lean more towards the check/call line since vilian is passive and tends to bet 1/2 pot or less.

    Turn represents an overpair and the size of the cr is good given the stacks here, most likely 12 outs if he calls. I have personally done not so many semi-bluff CR's on turn but if I think my FE is really big I will do it. what is your plan for river if you hit a) A b)a spade?

    i think if you hit A you should bet like half of pot and fold to a raise on river.

    The turn check-raise represents a lot of hands, depending on what Fnord is capable of raising preflop. He could've flopped a set or a straight, turned a set of jacks, or he could have an overpair. This is a good line to use when you've been raising a lot preflop and continuing on the flop, especially if you've been check-folding the turn.

    You were both racing to a flush, but he hit his on the river while also holding top pair of jacks.
    It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
    Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

    i dont think a strong player would push the river with a pair of jacks.
