Game #1746629416 starts.

my thinking on the flop was that there was an ace on the board which someone surely would bet. since he bet the turn after i checked, i figured hed call a bet on the river...obviously i was wrong. do you think that i bet too much and or should i have checked it to him?

I absolutely bet the turn here. A flush draw is a very likely holding for your opponent, and this may be the only time he will pay you off. If he has a flush draw he may gladly pay you off for 200-250 chips here. If he has an ace, he will probably pay you off too.

Don't get into the habit of instinctively checking whenever you make a big hand. Sometimes it makes sense , but I don't see the logic behind it here. This guy called a huge bet on the flop, and I see no reason why he won't call another one.

[adanthar]

You can't check the turn. You can underbet it (200-300) to make the draw think he has odds, but not check it.

Also, CR'ing the flop isn't a great idea because an ace that may fold to a CR will call three decent bets.

i didnt want to play a multiway pot with bottom two pair.

Why didn't you check raise the turn? Personally after check raising the flop, I almost always lead out with a bet. You have figure either has a ace or a flush draw. If he has the flush draw your odds of him paying you off with anything if the flush doesn't hit are about zero.

i usually bet out after a cr also, but my hand turned into a monster. i wanted him to hit his flush or spike his kicker. in other words, i felt that checking the turn was the best way for me to break him. that being said, no one has answered my question yet...given the course of events, what is the best way to maximize profit on the river?

End of thread. There is nothing more to be said.


PS: On the river, I think betting what ever he has left is what you should do. But considering the situation your bet is fine.
