Can't I get 10s, 9s and ax and some weaker jacks off too? That was my reasoning behind the turn raise.
I don’t want to sound mean, but that’s a lot of planning and assumptions against someone who limp/calls Axs from the button and doesn’t fold ace high to a check raise on the turn.
Against that player you want to bet big and often if you have a good hand and small and infrequent if you have 8-high.
The turn is a prime example. What you can do here is check/call because you’re getting 3.3:1 and have solid implied odds against that kind of player or bet even smaller yourself to give you the right price to draw. What you don’t want to do is to escalate the pot. Frankly, the way you played the hand almost makes villain look like a genius..
