Quick line check. SB is unknown. Hero only at table for 6 hands and I've done nothing in these 6 hands. Preflop, I figure, we have an Ace in position so call. Flop to me seems standard, he prob bets all flops. Turn feels closer. What do we do on turn? If we call the turn, what rivers do we call? Which do we fold?

Fold pre. I mean, it's probably not bad or anything but it's just getting you into weird spots where half decent players can exploit you by doing exactly what this person is doing, double barrelling on dry boards. I would prefer 3betting pre over flatting so you can actually rep a legit hand in position post flop.

As played it's a meh fold OTT. Obviously peeling flop is good but the turn J has just given villain loads of hands he can represent as well as draws etc in which he can rep on the river with a 3rd barrel. Not to mention the J could easily hit is range anyway. His sizing OTT looks more weighted to strong draws or value hands too imo.

never folding pre if purely to respect the measure of my ****, moreover it's +EV getting 4:1 if you're not completely braindead post-flop

turn sizing indicates to me that he likes his hand but is scared of developing draws, pretty sure i just fold. also a hand where timing tells can be crucial
