Villain is unknown, first hand against him. Although he’s not playing with a full-stack, let’s assume he’s at least a decent player and see if my line makes sense in a vacuum.

In game, I raised the Turn because:

1. I think we have the best hand most of the time and we won’t improve on most Rivers.

2. We charge draws that now have less equity.

3. We can still get calls from weaker hands (weaker two pair, pair + draw).

An additional reason – and I guess that’s a leak – is the fear of facing a tough decision on the River as there are a lot of cards that complete draws in villain’s range.

Is this reasonable? Or should we call Turn and play River in position (SPR will be aprox. 1.28)?

Thanks for your help.
