I think we can value bet the river right?

Anyone check the turn here? This is a pretty dry board and with 2 callers i would have to think theyd have something, if not a K and i wouldnt like to be raised here.

Could setup a good raise or C/R on the river if we hit our flush.

Saying that i like a valuebet here on the river with 2nd pair

[aK13]

Definitely.

I want to know who Microposter is.

I like betting the turn since one of 'em already checked and we have outs to improve.

[McGahee]

Yeah, I don't really like the turn bet at all.

I think a turn bet is ok, with the added outs picked up.

Yes I think the river is a value bet, seems like BB likes to check/call.

My thoughts:

I agree it is a thin value bet on the river. Emphasis on thin. When we're called on the turn, the likelihood (sp?) of a K goes way up, IMO.

Regarding the turn bet: I think it's pretty neutral EV. We've still got some fold equity... and while getting raised isn't great, you can often pick up an extra BB on the river when you make your flush.

Sometimes I check the turn.

I do tend to bet the turn when the board pairs, but this board is so drawless I think you're against a made hand here way too often. I'm checking the turn and folding the river unimproved. When you improve you have to bet here.
