I'm taking a shot at limit poker, and so far its working out well for me. We'll see how long it can continue for.
In this hand, I'm pretty sure that dajerome has an overpair, and I'm looking to extract here on the turn. Do I raise here to get more money in the pot and lose a player, or do I call and go for a 3-bet?

edit: str8ball is rather loose and usually pretty aggressive postflop when he has something

I prefer just calling and giving the chance for more dead money to pile up on the turn--I think you stand to make more big bets if you keep the players behind you in. Then bet/raise the river--even if everyone behind you folded on the turn, I think you'd make about the same amount of money as if you'd raised on the turn, but by calling, you give everyone behind you a chance to throw in more money that they're not likely to get back.

50/50 whether to raise the turn. It sucks he acts right before...generally, when a card like the 10spades falls, I prefer to raise and not lose a large pot because I only called and someone picked up a backdoor straight/flush card.
