Final Pot: 15 BB

I could be drawing dead on the turn, or at the very least my outs are tainted. Was calling bad?

I bet the river because I didn't want a c/r to get 3 bet.

river is fine.

turn, dude. why would you even THINK about folding there. that would be a horrible fold.

I would however check the turn usually. you dont really want to get raised here, and have little chacne of stealing from two players.

Calling the turn is easy. 5:1+implied odds with a straight+flush draw on a paired board is plenty. Your outs aren't tainted enough to fold.

The river bet is fine. I wouldn't mind risking 3 bets to win 4, but if you check/raise you're likely going to push out BB and end up winning 2 BB anyway at a higher risk than betting out.

the biggest crime on the turn would be to bet out and fold to a 3 bet

there could also be monsters under your bed, in this game ur hand = huge and good

if anything i think the board pairing gave some yahoo a last glimmer of hope that KK was good

Also- i like u sacked up and bet river- if someone has stuck around with like AX of clubs then god bless them

Thanks for the appropriate berating about my turn thoughts. Was in the middle of a bad run and guess was seeing monsters /images/graemlins/smile.gif

I usually always bet out again on the turn if the top card pairs, I figure its a good spot to continue the semi bluff. Especially since on this board they could ahve called the flop with a backdoor or gutshot. Is that something I should thinking twice about doing when there are multiple people in the hand still?

HH revealed that they both had a jack in their hands.
