What to do on the turn?

[zayphod]

So the villain in the piece was playing 55/20/(pre:0.43, flop:2.4, turn:3.33, riv:8) over 45 hands (small sample I know) he had gone to showdown 32% and had won at SD 89%. I was a bit stuck as how to proceed on the turn, would also appreciate comments on preflop and flop (e.g. did I do the right thing)

I would peel one, because youre implied odds are quite good...check call flop, check fold turn if you brick

Definitely worth peeling....I would only add that you should follow Trik's advice in his videos and not play short stacked, you'll be kicking yourself if you ever hit your straight.

I've done this myself and according to PokerTracker, has paid dividends in all in situations.

doh just realized I said the 'turn' and it should have read the flop. I actually folded (to weak?) since his SD % was really troubling me. It was the first time I had seen him limp/reraise. I think you are right though and i should have peeled.

My bankroll management now is one of my main priorities. The reason i play with a starting stack of $2 is my initial bankroll is in the building phase after deciding I was playing like a donk for a long, long time and after busting one-to-many rolls decided it was time to either get serious (yes even at my lowly levels) or get out. So I started again right at the bottom with a $20 deposit (I know 10 buyins is not optimal) and have been working that up over time (have full time job and wife and kids so finding table time can be a little tricky). So at the moment I am just trying to buyin with 100BB and stay topped-up and reverse the stack sizes on the table (e.g. me become bigstack they become smaller stack). Its working and combined with a monthly deposit of $20 I will soon buyin for larger amounts as my bankroll allows.
