Just moved to this table so no reads.

Utg limps, I raise A

, BB and utg call.

3-way to flop (6 SB): T

BB bets, utg calls, I call.

Turn (4.5 BB): K

BB leads, I call with double gutter and possible over.

Is this ok? Doesn't feel right...

Yes this is fine. Ace might be good too.

I mean when raising is bad and folding is bad, that means only one thing can be good.

Call and try to bink.

What this guy said.

Also man I love that you are posting hands but maybe think about posting those that gave you some real trouble and where you strongly considered different lines in the hand. You are going to get a lot more valuable discussion out of hands like the JTs hand you posted than this one.

Ok got it. It's just that I'm new to LHE so hands like these which may seem trivial to an experienced player feels questionable to me. So I just wanted to see if I was doing anything wrong. But for sure I'll be posting some more challenging hands.

Keep posting man. Traffic is low here and many of those that are less experienced like you (and me) would like to hear from the more experienced posters more often.

As everyone else has said, you're getting nearly immediate odds to hit your straight and the ace might be good. Call.

If UTG folds on the turn (that wasn't clear) is it terrible to at least consider raising the turn? Also, if the river is a total brick, are we comfortable folding 100% of the time? I wouldn't be.

Yes, utg folded OTT. I think the problem with raising turn is that I don't think I have fold equity. I raised pre and bb double barreled into two others oop on this connected flop. He's saying he has a good hand here, like 2P+ or pair+SD.

If I had something like AT I wouldn't mind raising turn hoping to freeze him otr and get a free SD but with AJ I think he never folds to my turn raise so I'd be putting in more money on a draw with no advantage (unless I bink riv).

I think vs this player's line on this board if he fires a brick riv I'd be comfortable folding at least 85% of the time.
