How do you play the turn card?

[WhackaDonk]

Very nice topic here. Not really, but here is my reply. Oh, great responses too. Everyone plays their little game differently; every game, every hand, every person constantly changes...playing on the same table versus the next table obviously has a different scenario and thus a different outcome on every turn card played. I suggest that you just play your turn cards the best way that's already working for you.

As for the other scenario, I skip eating on Wednesdays and I tend to eat three lunches on Thursday.

Typically I like to play the turn card at or on the turn. Strictly situational.

It seems like the hardest street to play.

Do you bluff alot?
Do you bet middle pairs?
Do you still chase your draws?


What do you do?

I personally just try not to bluff, but will still try to value bet middle pair heads up.

If you have a middle pair try and aim for 2 streets of value @ the most. chase your draws if you have pot odds or if you feel like you'll get paid off by ur opp if u hit it ( backdoor draws will get paid off more than the obvious ones)

Pot odds unlike you are trying to bluff

I tried to play the turn card several times. I was told its not my card, its a community card and that I only get two cards that are mine.

no way to play the turn, whatever you do is the wrong decision, better to check/fold

[eqgh5uea]

Depends on the other player's bluffing or range they played... You can't very well fold every set to a str8 draw or flush draw, however the range can.

Totally depends on the player however it's good to know that the variance of it can be overcome with good play, usually when you have a higher kicker, a pocket pair boat, or whathaveyou.

Tournament or cash game? Stack size? Opponent range? Board texture? Very complex question with many variables that we need more information to answer or speculate on.

the turn, the flop, fifth street, if you don't play them differently during a long tournament, you become the fish. now if its a cash game maybe different
