What do you think about the Turn call?

BU: Taggy player, a bit too passive PF, Plays well post-flop
SB: Whale: 90/20 random monkey. Often very agressive, sometimes with the nuts sometimes with air.

On the turn - it looks to me like a fold first time it gets to you on the turn, and a clear fold second time around. I would cap preflop for value. In such a big pot if you were going to continue on turn then it should be a raise, to try and knock out the button, but its not going to work here.

The call/cap line of button on the flop is very strong. If he had a draw you would expect him to raise first time round, when he just calls and later caps on the same street that suggests to me he strongly believes he has the best hand. The turn card is horrible for us in the circumstances. It seems impossible that somebody wont have at least two pair. We may have outs, but the way those guys are throwing chips in the pot you aren't going to be able to see another card cheaply.

I almost never cap preflop as I find it very easy to exploid pf caps in villains.

Thank you for your analysis. It is just I find it very hard to throw away a hand vs 1 bet in such a large pot. I guess I shoud have.
