    I think that was probably the worse turn card for me!
    I know i'm gonna be stacking off on the river, do I go for the gusto?
    What kind of equity do I have in a pot like this if villain had draws that completed on the turn?

    since he's unknown I'd give him respect and fold in this situation, as you said, it's possibly the worst turn card for you

    You're crushed. So many draws just hit, and he likely has a set/redraw against your 2pair. I'd cry and fold.

    Raise more pre, more like to 10 instead of 8.

    EDIT: Didn't see your Kc. Ship it in.
    My sig is too much for you to handle.

    bigger 3 bet preflop to 12 for starters, as played flop bet is fine but i definitely dont agree turn is a fold ever, if anything its a push. He doesnt call the flop bet with a gutter like 10q or an underpair like jj and a flush draw is a small part of his range. He also never bets this much with the nut or near nut flush as hed be wanting to extract value rather than scare you off. I think hes either FOS or has aj aq and is going crazy. As hes unknown u have no idea if hes a tard or not which often increases the need for a fold but here i think it increases the need for a shove. Worst case scenario you still have a redraw to the full house and nut flush.
    "This sure beats Super Mario Bros.!" is my ejaculation catch phrase.

    I'm not letting this go. If he has 44 or a frush he can have my moniez. I don't see all these magical other draws that hit (QT? wha?), you have the Kc (blocker + redraw), and you're about to stack him if he has AJ or AQ.

    how are you playing 100nl?

    raise more pre first, raising 2.5x from the blinds is beyond horrible. flop bet is fine, but i fire the turn here plenty. as played ship that shit in.
    eeevees are not monies yet...they are like baby monies.

    God this is such an easy hand. Reraise to $10-11 preflop. Just bet bet bet you are way ahead of his range and he will call with a lot.
