Two situations where you shouldn't raise on the turn.

If you're planning to call on the turn, you can also consider raising on the turn. This is a concept in limit and no-limit games, especially when there's a cap on the chips. Let's say a player bets on the turn, and even though your hand could just call, and you're committed to calling on the river with your remaining chips. In this situation, it's better to raise, as just calling gives your opponent a free chance to attack you again. For instance, if there's a possible flush on the board, and you have a King-high flush, and a player bets, if you decide to call on the river, don't wait for your opponent to bet again, because he might not do so. Go ahead and raise. He might have two pairs or three of a kind, and he's likely to call your raise. This style of play can help you win more chips, and if you lose, you'll still lose the same amount. Here are situations where you shouldn't raise on the turn:

(1) You think your opponent is bluffing, and you have a decent hand, hoping he bluffs again.

(2) You have an absolute monster hand, significantly stronger than your opponent's best possible hand, and you don't want to scare him off.

In these cases, just calling on the turn allows your opponent to bet on the river. Sometimes a turn raise can force your opponent to fold a better hand than yours. For example, if you have a Jack-high flush, and you know you'll call on the river, if your opponent bets on the turn, raising in this situation might make him fold his King-high flush. Here's another story to illustrate this point: I played a hand with David Sklansky, and the flop was KQJx. David bet on the flop, and I called with three Kings. The turn didn't change anything, he bet again, and I realized I'd still call on the river, so I raised. Well, guess what, he didn't have AT, he had T9, and he folded them. The raise told him I had the best hand.

In conclusion, remember the principles mentioned above when it comes to the turn. Especially when dealing with raising on the turn, when playing Texas Hold'em, always have a purpose.
