midset river decision

checked flop cause it was really uncoordinated... i felt like it was safe.... obviously this isn't true... annyways after screwing up the flop... did it throw off hte whole hand? or did i play the turn right... and then the river... what do you put villain on... and do you call?

i think i'm calling here, i can see BB have a bunch of stupid hands heres, and for some reason, MP doesn't bother me at all here. i wouldnt be surprised to see just a weak ace from them. I don't know why i think this, i just do. (and i'm a little high). Yea, so i'm not worried about him, and i don't think we can narrow his range down to AA/KK/QT.

so yea, i call.

p.s. I never make good folds

Bet the flop to build a big pot. Bet the turn to build a big pot. Call the river because it's a big pot and unless they somehow got here with QT, god bless 'em.

Checking the flop is not bad, depends on how often your opponent will bet.
I would bet the turn. When you go for the checkraise you have to raise more.
As for the river, i would call. You might loose to MP, but i think you will most often be ahead of BB.

I don't see how you could be behind much else than QT here. Big pocketpair seems unlikely with this action preflop.

QT it is... i'll be betting the flop next time

By raising to $9, you are asking them to call $6 into a $19 pot, which is callable esp by donks that like chasing inside draws.

I have trouble doing this, I guess because people fold too much and I feel like I'm not getting my money's worth by driving them out. So, it's a leak...
