I have a question about this hand, that occurred in a game of $25PL O/8 on Party. What should Hero do on the turn?
Flop: 4 /images/graemlins/spade.gif 5 /images/graemlins/heart.gif J /images/graemlins/diamond.gif
Turn: T /images/graemlins/heart.gif
Hero's hand:
A /images/graemlins/heart.gif 2 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 7 /images/graemlins/heart.gif 8 /images/graemlins/club.gif
The pot is being contested four ways (including by hero), there is $5.65 in the pot.
On the turn the betting has gone check, check, to hero (one player still to act). The table is fairly loose.
I think Hero should certainly bet, even though he doesn't "have" anything yet - at least enough to guarantee that he has the option to put the rest of his money in ($17) if a scoopworthy card rivers - not to mention lots of ways to win half the pot. My friend thinks that this is a mistake and Hero should check and only bet if something favourable hits on the river.
