First hand of the match. I took the weak turn line here. Is this a bit too weak against an unknown? My experience tells me that turn raises are usually very strong hands.

I'm not folding here. I probably bet a little bigger on the turn, like 180 or 200, but 150 isn't terrible.

What do you think will happen on the river depending on the card? Let's say the board 4 straights and he shoves, or it's an ace?

i dont think u get it. SHOVE, dont call. villain already shown he is interested in get it in, and there are cards that can kill the action/scary on the river. so shove and get called by worse the majority of the time.

maybe true, but your strong hand looks good against his strong hand range. villain can easily have 2 weaker pairs.

I wasn't advocating flatting the turn, shoving is much much much better.
