You decide to steal the blinds with J9 off-suit from the button at a tight table, after seeing everyone fold to you. Your plan is foiled when the small blind reraises and the big blind folds.

You call, of course, and the flop is 2 7 8. The small blind bets and you call.

On the 4 turn, the small blind bets again. What'll your next move be?





Fold
The turn card is the hardest to play properly in fixed-limit Texas. It's a hard choice - if your opponent has a flush already, you're likely drawing dead, so I can understand those of you who want to fold. It's not the right move to make though.

Raise (correct)
The turn card is the hardest to play properly in fixed-limit Texas. It's a hard choice - if your opponent has a flush already, you're likely drawing dead, but otherwise, your hand has potential. The choice between raising and calling is by no means easy - if you think your opponent can be bluffed away by raising, that's preferrable. Otherwise, call.
