Your live $3/$6 No-Limit game at your local casino has been aggressive so far, with one player really splashing around. He has been playing almost every hand and is not afraid to bluff. That player is in the big blind in this hand. Players 3 and 5 limp to you and you make it $40 to go on the button. The big blind calls and the limpers fold. The flop comes J55; he checks and you bet $65. He flats and the turn comes 2. He checks and you bet $120; he check-raises to $300.
What should you do?
Call/call river
Raise all-in
Fold
Call/fold river
Correct Answer:
Call/call river. His most likely hand here is a bluff. Raising the turn does nothing but fold his bluffs out. If you flat-call the turn and let him shove the river, you can maximize the amount of money you can make.
