JJ makes a straight on the turn (25NL)

Opp is a total donkey, stats 83/0/1.8 over 53 hands. What is your turn line? Call and hope he bets the river or raise? If you are raising, how much is appropriate?

I might raise more pre, but that's nitpicking. Against a station I would have just value bet the turn - dont want to let fishy check behind. As played, we could minraise or push right here, but if we just call, then we can open push river for < pot, and I'd expect to get called by two pair alot.

Lots of ways to play this one though... I'm not sure which is best - interesting hand.

I dont see why you wanna check into a station/donk. just bet again and shove river.
Also when you check the turn, do you have a plan?? and wont c/r turn be such a strong play that you may aswell turn your hand over?

Thanks, this is just the sort of advice I was looking for.

I like firing three barrels here as discussed. After you check the turn though i think you have two choices:

Minraise: He'll call cause stations can't fold after they bet. But you may not make anymore on the river.

Call and Push river: It looks like a bluff and he is a station.

After checking i go with minraise because he may see the size of the pot and call the river anyway (don't you just love $25NL). Three barrels were the way to get this stack though i think.

check/call and fake blocking bet on the river doesn't announce your hand as much either. By blocking I mean around $12.

are you choosing this line or showing a different alternative play to cover up our hand here?

i'm doing both, I probably use this line ~25% of the time. Sometimes I get caught up in the moment and think "oh shit wtf did I check for? c/ring gives my hand away...so let's not c/r and just c/c and lead river instead.". Most of the time it's by accident but against aggressive players it's a line I take some of the time.
