    Default Top pair re-raised on turn, good fold?

    This player had been confusing me to no end. I seriously couldn't label her loose, tight, aggro, or anything. (It ended up me and here heads up ). Given that, I instafolded. She showed her cards and I'll post that later. Tell me what you think. Would you have folded with the blinds this large?

    $2 STT
    Full Tilt Poker
    No Limit Holdem Tournament
    Blinds: t120/t240
    3 players

    Stack sizes:
    Button: t3560
    Hero: t4840
    BB: t5100

    Pre-flop: (3 players) Hero is SB with J T
    Button folds, Hero raises to t480, BB calls t240 (pot was t600).

    Flop: 7 4 8 (t960, 2 players)
    Hero checks, BB checks.

    Turn: T (t960, 2 players)
    Hero bets t600, BB raises to t1200, Hero folds.
    Uncalled bets: t600 returned to BB.

    Results:
    Final pot: t2160

    Raise 2.5x at least pre flop.

    Bet flop and call a push.

    As played I would check turn, call a small bet and shove over a bigger one.

    You cannot fold the turn. You often have the best hand and have lots of outs if not.

    I agree with drmcboy, don't minraise preflop - make it 2.5x to 3x BB to go. You're out of position so would really like to take it down preflop, but a minraise offers opp 3:1 odds to call which to many opps are irresistable.

    As played, on the flop, that is a safe flop to c-bet. You have two overcards and a gutshot straight draw. I'd bet about 600 here.

    On the turn, you can't fold. I'd shove over all day long. This sort of min-raise is often opp trying to pick off your "bluff" bet as cheaply as possible - and as drmcboy said, you might have the best hand right now and if not you have probably 9 outs to improve on the river.
