Semi-bluff...Total Bluff...Value Bet...

[CardCuda]

Paradise Poker 2-4 Hold'em (10 handed)

Typical, somewhat passive table. The only read I have in this hand is MP2 - she defines calling station and seeing well over 50% of the flops. I should be pummelled for thinkin' I could bluff her out of this pot. I fear it's true i'm a chip tossing LAG since reading SSH....but it's working so far..(knocking on wood).

Preflop: Hero is Button with Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif, K/images/graemlins/heart.gif.

If she's a calling station, then there is no reason to bet the turn. The only reason you would bet here is if you had a prudent chance of getting everyone to fold, as you have no draw and king high. Calling stations don't fold, by definition. I would have checked behind on the turn, then bet when the Q came on the river.

You've raised preflop, and ace fell, and you still got two callers. I usually check the turn in this spot. You are representing a big ace and your opponents won't drop.

If you thought you had the best hand on the turn, then you should bet, but often someone caught a pair here.
