I had bet the turn fully planning on checking behind on the river UI if he called.

I'm folding to the flop bet unless I have a read that tells me otherwise.

I'm folding that river. He might've had a ten and hit a backdoor flush on the river. Almost everything beats you by the river and its not a big enough pot to call, IMO

[QTip]

Obviously no read, as he's the poster. I seriously considered folding the flop. I think that probably was the best idea, but, obviously, I didn't do that. I'm not sure why I didn't, which is really bad.

[QTip]

Yeah...just making sure. That's what I did.

Thanks for the thoughts u 2.

Weird, it seemed like he liked the flop, but then doesn't raise the turn. His bet on the river indicates he thinks he can beat at least an ace, unless its just a stone cold bluff.

It looks like he may have wanted to check raise you on the the river, but then decided he didn't want it to get checked through.

Tough, I probably call and take a note.

Edit: Actually after some thought, a fold seems best.

You will have an aggression factor of 5+ if you are raising flops like this.

Why even bet the turn? The only thing a reasonable player leads into the flop that you beat is some sort of draw. The turn either makes his straight or gives him top pair if he was betting AJ.

[Stack]

You overplayed this one. Just fold the flop.

Do this a couple of times (folding the river after being so agressive) and you won't get a free turn or river card against those players any more.

Anyway, after investig so much in the pot, I think you should have called his donkbet on the river.

I fold the flop. I think u are beat.

But lets say I take your line, then I check the turn. Fold the river.


Now say u want to get to a showdown: On a flop and turn like this, I would rather check the turn and call a river bet...betting the turn, knowing he will not fold and then having to possibly call his river bet sucks more IMO.

When on the turn, did u think there was a pretty good chance he would check to u again on the river? Im not so sure it will happen a majority of the time with this action and board (not being result orientated)
