God I play weird. I know I'm way ahead on the flop. I figured I could wait until the turn for value. It's not a drawy flop so I don't see why he wouldn't bet the turn. But he didn't /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

River pairs the board and SB leads, BB calls and the action is on me. I thought about raising. I wasn't sure how to interpret BB's call. Should this make me more or less likely to raise? Thanks for the comments.

Reraise on the flop.

More likely both because you're now getting 2:1 on your river raise and because it's way easier to fold to a river 3-bet.

Are there any hands in a similiar spot that you would wait until the turn to raise? Would you need more than TPTK?

Never seen this before. I'm going to have to sleep on it but I think it makes a lot of sense. Thanks spamuell

I like a flop raise and lead at the turn.

I think I would even raise 2-pair here, maybe, but definetely TPTK. Your hand is pretty vulnerable to the SB and BB holdings, which they may fold for 2-bets as opposed to calling with their J6s for one bet and sucking out.

Large-ish multiway pot. Top pair second kicker. Raise the flop, dammit!

There's really no need to get fancy. You get action regardless. I'd raise any kind of a hand here.

Perfect. FWIW, flop is a 100% raise. River is a 100% raise.

raise flop, you need to start knocking out some of these players,

raise, reraise, possibly cap flop

Waiting for the turn is only good when you have a big hand and/or are against 1 or 2 very weak opponents in a small pot.

This pot has been raised preflop, 4 players, its 8SB, the flop is coordinated any 3,4 or 5 makes a straight.

If I have a gutshot or a pair I'd call this flop expecting to make money back if I hit on the turn. This is why you have to raise the flop.

If you raise you knock everyone out and end up against a hand you likely dominate.

Instead you call and let every man and his dog draw out on you.

A pair of 2s looks at the turn sees that he only needs to call one bet in a large pot and if he hits one of his 5 outs he is probably good.

This is true except I should have been able to face the field with 2 bets 85% of the time.

Alright, I'm convinced a flop raise is best. We all know I'm a bit of a slowplay whore.

Villians showed A3 and A7 and MHIG. Villian was betting because his kicker was counterfiet. I thought about this when I was playing the hand. I like a river raise. Do people agree that I can fold to a 3-bet pretty easy?

Weak AX hoping to counterfeit your kicker, maybe.

Given the highly uncoordinated flop, I would play it the same way, but raise the river. Given that its 4 handed on the river, I dont see a CR failing all too often. I think hes on a weak bluff attempt, but thats just me.

EDIT - I rock.
