Poker Stars, $5 Buy-in (30/60 blinds) No Limit Hold'em Tournament, 9 Players

UTG+1: 10,000 (166.7 bb)
UTG+2: 9,870 (164.5 bb)
MP1: 9,730 (162.2 bb)
Hero (MP2): 9,420 (157 bb)
MP3: 10,000 (166.7 bb)
CO: 14,584 (243.1 bb)
BTN: 9,895 (164.9 bb)
SB: 10,580 (176.3 bb)
BB: 15,021 (250.4 bb)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with K

UTG+1 raises to 150, 2 folds, Hero calls 150, MP3 folds, CO calls 150, 2 folds, BB calls 90

Flop: (630) 2

(4 players)
BB checks, UTG+1 bets 315, Hero calls 315, 2 folds

Turn: (1,260) 2

(2 players)
UTG+1 bets 630, Hero ???

No stas on utg+1, seemed tight, When he fires a second barrel on the turn he must have something like : KK+, AJ+ suited in hearts, AKo.... dont see many bluff in his range...clear fold??

I guess the question is if we're going to fold the river if he bets shouldn't we just fold now? I'd probably be stubborn and call just to see if he'll bet the river and hopefully not trick myself into calling with the worse hand which in this case, probably is.

Mandatory call readless.

You have plenty of other hands that can fold turn, this hand is too good.

But, doesn't it look at best B/E to call the turn? The river has to be a blank( no A, no heart), then i have to wait for him to check the river to show a busted flush draw (AJ,AQ) or a weaker K (KJs).
I dont see him cbetting into three opponents on the flop, then continuing on the turn with a weaker range than this. I might be completely wrong!!! do you think his range is different?

I don't think hoping for a check from hands that you beat is that unrealistic at small stakes. Most players don't have the balls to fire three light.

If you feel strongly then fold, intuition/reads/tells shouldn't be ignored. But understand that given you're likely 3betting AA and AK, he can profitably bet turn with two parking tickets if you're folding everything bar trips+ and flush draws.

This is a very standard call to me - I think you're overthinking the spot

Good turn for our hand, changes nothing from the flop, call now and most rivers. Decide if an ace or heart hits
