raise now or wait? - Page 2 - Medium Stakes Poker Forum

I did raise.

I'm being results oriented with this thread. A guy behind me called the flop with KK's and sucked out on the river in a monster pot. Had I waited for the turn I probably win. I remember spots where it's best to wait till the turn with two pair. I agree this is not one of them.

Does anybody have a good example of when waiting for the turn in a MW pot IP makes sense with two pair?

Agree with the Q8 suggestion above but I'd expand it to most bottom two pair combos on most boards. There are going to be a lot of perceived clean turns where you can get value in and your hand will be well hidden and there are going to be a lot of dirty turns where you avoid putting in extra bets/can see the action ahead of you and avoid some spots where you're behind.

Thanks!

This makes sense. The UTG is more likely to have an Ace in this example and will bet again on the turn. This also means it's more likely an Ace on the turn is bad news.

No. I incorrectly assessed the vulnerability of my. I though waiting till the turn also could help me better protect my hand. I'm certainly not trying to rep a bluff MW on the turn.
