Raise.

I’d look to be making a semi-bluff in this spot. Our opponent isn’t likely to get too out of line here.

I’d 2.5x raise here to 21875 expecting to fold out the button.

When it gets to the BB there are very few hands he can shove over the top of our raise with.

Most likely he will call and re-evaluate the river but some of his range will be hands he can’t continue with.

This turn play is to set up a shove on the river should our opponent check.

Basically this sort of opponent – a strong regular with a decent sized stack, in this spot – a limped pot, raggedy board, out of position in the BB – is not going to be calling us light and they are holding a very weak range.

Apply a ton of pressure – there is a lot of chips in the middle to be won here with aggressive play and we have a strong draw to fall back on.

Voted call. A raise after a deuce hits the turn would be suspicious to a stong player imo. There is also another big-stacked player to act who we have no read on. The BB range is obviously wide. I’d like to keep this pot under control and if the button folds, use position to evaluate a river play.

Call, raising has its advantages however calling is for pot control, if you do hit 1 of the many outs you need and he leads out again with trips or over pair then you will be laughing with the potential additional earning of a 12-15k lead out on the river rather than a fold on the turn. If he calls a raise on the river then you are home free

call. this is a bad spot for a semi bluff, and we’re getting good odds on our draw in position.

the guy leading the action is the big stack in the big blind. the board is pretty ragged. he could easily have a two pair hand and not go away. even top or middle pair might not go away given he action and the stacks. plus we checked the flop, hes unlikely to think the deuce helped us, it would smell like exactly what it is, a semi-bluff. plus theres always the player still to act. its better to draw him in than scare him out. if we hit, we want more players in the hand.

just take the odds on the draw and hope you hit the straight, not a flush, so youre more likely to get paid.

I too call.

What kind of a hand would our raise represent here? If BB does have a real hand (like 2 pair) they will probably come over the top and then we have to let it go, while the same hand would likely pay us off if we do spike the river (and I agree with CB, straight would be a lot sweeter – not only because we’d get paid off more likely but also because it would happen to be a nut hand then).

Voted call for pretty much the same reasons as others.

Just want to add in that I woulda tossed this hand preflop. Also, after you have seen the flop, you gotta play it strong with a flop like that; should have led the flop with intention to 3-bet shove any raise.
