    Default what is best play on turn??

    4 players:

    UTG 100bb - only few hands with him, doesn't seem fishy
    hero BTN 100bb with A 4


    UTG raises 4bb, hero calls, 2 fold

    flop (9,5bb):
    4 2 K
    UTG bets 7bb, hero raises to 18bb, UTG calls

    turn (45,5bb):
    5
    UTG checks, hero??


    - what is the best play here??


    I thought about this play for last 3 hours, do the math, but I'm not sure

    I like a call on the flop and a raise on the turn better. You can rep a wider range that way. If i do raise id like to make it bigger so that i can jam the turn easier.

    As played i think a check is't that bad. If you jam it looks really weird coz of the stack sizes. If you bet and he calls you have 0 fold equity on the river if it bricks.

    i def fire again on the turn i think you still have good FE since the flop raise was a little small, 23bb on turn and 55bb on most rivers

    i also prefer flatting the flop and raising the turn. this way you allow UTG to double barrel bluff. your range is actually narrower on the turn, but it's still stronger

    you don't really have FE so i'd just check behind

    With no reads, I think it's more likely that he'd c/c turn again with a lot of hands than c/bomb. So I'd probably bet again.

    Obviously if we knew he was capable of flop call oop and turn c/bomb, checking back would be better.

    Well he's checked so if you raise be prepared to keep going. Are you willing to bluff with all your chips if you end up on the river in a holey boat?

    Are you prepared to lose what you've put in if you pull no flush or inside straight? Or an ace for that matter? If you are, then check.

    Personally I would check. If he had of raised I would have folded. If the river doesn't bring any luck I'd be out.

    You made a fair enough call at the beginning though, ace high flush or maybe a set of 4's.
