    Default Why is he betting this turn so strongly?

    No Reads.

    I think this is a fairly standard fold...agree?

    Poker Room skin
    No Limit Holdem Ring game
    Blinds: $0.50/$1
    5 players
    Converter

    Stack sizes:
    Hero: $96.00
    CO: $74.10
    Button: $99.85
    SB: $93.60
    BB: $51.65

    Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is UTG with Q Q
    Hero raises to $4, CO folds, Button calls, SB folds, BB calls.

    Flop: 5 8 9 ($12.5, 3 players)
    BB checks, Hero bets $12, Button raises to $24, BB folds, Hero calls.

    Turn: 4 ($60.5, 2 players)
    Hero checks, Button bets $60

    yea i like your fold on the turn. it was just a donkish way to play a flush draw.

    does anyone like pushing the flop?

    No i wouldnt fold the turn but i like three betting the flop better than sticking the rest in on the turn.
    Anyone who minraises on this flop sucks

    Opponant obviously sucks based on his flop play - think about it, if he had a made hand hes giving you great odds if you're drawing. So, he is probably drawing - dont push the flop but reraise strongly. As played fold the turn your not beating much, doubt he is playing TPTK that strongly.

    It's pretty obvious why he would bet the turn strong.

    toadstool- dont you think the only raising option on the flop is a push?
    hero has just over pot left when calling the min raise.

    if he so obviously sucks, why couldn't he play TPTK so strongly?

    He probably flopped a big hand and is now freaking out because the board is becoming coordinated. Pretty standard donk play.

    Pushing the flop is probably best. These guys call with A-9 100% of the time.
