View Full Version : Bet TPTK when river pairs board?

Summary:
I'm dealt AQoff, check preflop, flop comes with A, I have semi-TPTK with A's and Q, I raise a bet on flop, bet on turn, get two callers to the river. The river pairs the board, I check it, thinking possible set. Someone else bets, I call, they've hit a set on the river, I get screwed out of my TP.

Two questions:
One, should I have raised my AQoff preflop to get the winner out of the pot from the beginning (they hit the pair of 8's on the flop and called a raised bet on the flop and a bet on the turn)?
Two, on the river, should I have..
..bet my TPTK even with the pair on the board knowing it was unlikely someone had a set with only two other players?
OR
..checked and folded on the river knowing someone might have stayed in on a pair of eights with two other people in the pot and hit their set on the river?
OR
..just played it the way I did (check called)?

Here's the hand itself (I'm actonric, the winner is shydie):

Try the small stakes forum. You'll probably get more help there.

You should have raised preflop and bet the river. You'll definitely get more insight if you post hands on the small stakes forum.
