Cap the flop, Cap the turn, Cap the river...theres no reason to get tricky against .5/1 monkeys

[cold_cash]

I likely would have 3-bet the flop and just kept on firing.

I hate the turn check, but after you've done it, I hate the lack of a check-raise even more.

Nobody's calling on the river with four diamonds, but they'll call on the turn.

The reason I didn't cap the flop is because he had flopped a flush on me a few hands earlier and after about 30 hands he is read as LAP. On the turn when I hit the full house, I thought that the other guy not the LAP was on a draw so I figured it was safe to call behind and c/r the river knowing that the LAP would bet again and the guy would call. I didn't know he would be 4 betting with me but now I know. Again I only did this because he is read as LAP right now.

In addition, any high, single diamond (and many not-so-high single diamonds) will gladly call as many raises as you can make on the flop &amp; turn. The same will not be true on the river.

If you somehow "knew" the Button was on a draw, not raising the turn when you have the chance to trap him for an extra bet is even worse.

If the third player is on a draw, why would he call bets on the river when his draw misses?

How bout including some of this pertinent information in your OP.

Welcome to the forum. Provide reads with your post. We need to know what you did.

Even if he flipped over a made flush on the flop a 3-bet would be for value -- slim value, but value none the less. You'll make a boat or quads ~36.6% of the time and are only putting in 33.3% of the pot. Add to that the fact that Villain is much more likely to have a hand you're ahead of than to have flopped a flush and it's a rock solid 3-bet for value.

Waiting for the turn is not a great strategy OOP with this board. It's going to check through a lot. It's even worse in this case, as a weak Ace or flush might be scared off when the board pairs. Once it goes to plan, though, you need to c/r. Diamonds aren't going anywhere, but will fold the river unless they hit their draw. You have both opponents trapped. A flush or 8 will probably put in many bets. You need to raise.

The river is obviously fine.

The problem with waiting until the river with your big monster is all the bets you missed on the turn when the opponent has a smaller monster.

maybe 3-bet flop... If you really believed he had the goods, the line you took is fine.

EDIT - wait, even if you though he had the flush, you had enough ecuity wiht the CO there ot fill up to a house or better, bet cap the flop man!

Thanks for all the input I have just started playing .50/1.00 since reading sshe a few times through so I am just getting broken in. Thanks again.

Three diamonds on the flop, which leaves ten diamonds among the six remaining players. I somehow doubt someone flopped a flush here.

I can understand your call of a raise on the flop, but FFS, cap that turn and river. You've got nuts here, you NEED to get value out of them.

Hah okay I'll remember that. On a side note, I have played a total of 459 hands now since starting yesterday. My VP$IP is 18%, my PFR is 9%, 2.23 agr factor, and 35% to showdown. I am rated TA. How are these stats? Am I seeing too many showdowns?

[Fryguy]

WAY WAY too small of a sample size, but yah the numbers look fine.

I'm OK with this flop play. Turn you NEED to lead out, or at the very least checkraise. Check/calling here is TERRIBLE.
