Austin nailed it, I flat the turn keeping ranges wide and pray for a safe turn card. Then look to jam after turn bet from one of the blinds.
In a three way pot, odds are higher there is a big diamond out there, so folding the turn, while painful, is right choice.
As Austin said, you have way too much to risk with your crappy 10.You pick up equity on turn, double barrel seems right and calling off $130 into $350 plus pot seems fine.
Call or fold seems only course. IF you call, then you are basically committed to go with it on all good flops. But it is jacks so the low variance fold and protecting your stack is not bad. Why tangle with the pro when there are usually plenty of weak players in a 1-3 game.
You raised the flop to $80 trying to get all the money in and you accomplished that. Having done that, you could’ve checked the turn because it certainly looks as if the remaining villain could be on a flush draw when he bet-calls the flop.
Had you checked the turn, it is possible he checks back and maybe it goes check-check on the river and you save $128.
Having said that, if he shoves the turn after your check, I don’t see how you get away from calling it off getting almost 4 to 1 on your money.The only other line you could have taken is to simply call the flop bet and wait for a non-diamond on the turn before building the pot, but then you risk the flush draw folding on the turn if he misses. You don’t likely get it all in if you slow play.
I actually like the way you played the flop, but I personally would have checked the turn, figuring one of them had a flush draw. But like I said, I probably would have call it off if the villain shoves the turn. If he shoves the river, then I have to read his soul before calling it off.
All in all, I would not worry about this one too much. It is a tough situation. That’s poker.
You did play it aggro, but got it in good, so nicely done. His range should not have consisted of 8 – 10 off pre flop for an extra $16. Nor should he have called $180 more on the turn with a draw and one card to come. But hat’s what you get (and what you want) from $1 – 2, especially at 6 a.m.!
I agree with Dave. Never bet $5 pre in a 1-2 game. 6 is minmimum.
I would have bet slightly smaller on flop to keep one pair hands in. All hands that have you beat are going to call to almost any bet size, so if you make it half pot, you save a little when you are beat.
Turn play should be a check back as most Ax type hands just went into check call mode.
Love the river raise, just possibly size down a bit, maybe $110 to ensure a call by most jacks.
All in all I love the line.I personally would rarely raise this flop for fear of folding out the small blind or the button.
Then when the button raises, alarm bells go off.
Still, I can’t see me ever folding with only $230 effective, so in all likelihood the result is the same.
