I've read WLLH (SSH and TOP are on their way), and am still a little bit confused about the concept of betting for value.
Party Poker 0.50/1 Hold'em (9 handed)
Preflop: Hero is SB with 3/images/graemlins/heart.gif, A/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, MP3 folds, CO folds, Button calls, Hero completes, BB checks.
Flop: (5 SB) 8/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 5/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 7/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(5 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, BB folds, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, Button calls.
Nut flush draw. I'd figure I'd lead, hoping (slim chance) that I take it down here, and since I'm about 4:1 to make the flush with 4 players to act behind me, is this considered a bet for value?
Turn: (4.50 BB) 3/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="blue">(4 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP1 folds, MP2 calls, Button calls.
No one showed any aggression on the flop so I figured I'd fire another shot, still hoping for the flush because the pair of 3's are probably no good...
River: (7.50 BB) 8/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="CC3333">MP2 bets</font>, Button folds, Hero calls.
Missed my flush, the board pairs, maybe I should have laid it down here?
Final Pot: 9.50 BB
