Easy turn bet. Why would you not bet here???

I would also bet the flop. I'm not counting on 2 weak limpers to bet it so I can checkraise - having it checked thru would suck.

And you HAVE to bet the river after the turn is checked thru.

It was a crime not to bet the turn, even a bigger one not to bet the river.

[btspider]

bet it all the way postflop.

I would bet the turn as well. If they both call, then I might consider check-calling river. I don't want to give free cards to possible straight draws.

thanks all. big bwoook-KWAAK chicken noises and a nice 2+2 slapdown.

I've been off 1/2 for a couple of weeks doing essays and returned TA-passive. after showdown i was like Hmm. big whoopsie.

T9 for hi jack gutshot and A5 for 5's were the other hands.

Thanks again for the slap. hunt me down if you want to skin me.

Regards,
Pete Harris
