I know this can be a stupid fish question that can vary based on so many factors and environment. But for some reason, I love the turn street. I love bloating up the pot during pre-flop and flop, where I make people commit lot of their chips pre-flop and flop, and then on the turn, I shove all-in where people will have a hard time letting go of their hand since they've committed so many chips on pre-flop and flop but at the same time, their equity on the turn is so horrible that they have a hard time calling. I love putting people in that situation. It's the street where I love to jam the most in general. It's where if people call, then only way you will lose is if you get unlucky while if people fold, you've won so many chips uncontested. I love watching people calling off their stack for a flush or straight draw on the turn for that measily 4-1 underdog pathetic odds.

I enjoy the turn also and disagree with the leak comment.

All streets are critical but the turn can really define things. You can manipulate the hand so many ways compared to other streets.
Turn offers so much more to mislead the story or abuse the story of the hand.
Preflop is standard and the river plays the same way. Flop is my 2nd favorite of all streets.

It's a leak if you base your decision on "yaaaaaay, the turn has always been so kind to me, lets stack off our gut shot and hope the turn proves to be my friend"

Favorite street really matters for nothing at all.

its interesting how people love the turn..i think thats where most of the action is made at. people still call down their draws or even continue bluffing with action after their play.

time to start playing a little different then yea? ;)

My favorite street is the flop. I want to see the flop often, especially if its cheap. There I know if I'm already beaten or underdog at that point. My decision is basically depends on the flop.

the turn, the one i love and the river the one i hate, lol, seriously the turn ´cause one can maximize its value when completes a project in this street and save a lot of chips when nothing comes from it, so for me the turn

I like the river. Not that I like it that much to make it my favorite, but its the final street, where when your opponent things he holds a monster on the flop and turn, you can prove him wrong. Downside is that it is the last street, and if you dont hit it you have paid for bs cards, that you dont need. Despite that, when you hit it it turns out more profitable. You can bet on the flop and even if you dont have nothing there are yet 2 cards to come, but on the river its the final call. Still Ill vote for river x)
