You raise preflop, get a coldcaller, maybe BB comes along.
The flop is monotone and you have the A or K. You bet, get called by the coldcaller( maybe the blind aswell) and turn the nutflush. You are out of position.
Now I usually bet again, but it seems like they fold every time.
So the question is: Should I check instead ?, with intention to raise or call and go for a check-raise on the river ?
I dont really think it can go wrong as he isnīt very likely to check behind with a hand that actually has a draw and Iīm more likely to get a call from him on the river as I didnīt bet the turn.
Example:
Party Poker 3/6 Hold'em (6 handed)
Preflop: Hero is UTG with K/images/graemlins/heart.gif, Q/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
<font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, MP folds, CO calls, Button calls, SB folds, BB folds.
Flop: (7.33 SB) J/images/graemlins/heart.gif, Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 7/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(3 players) </font>
<font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, CO folds, Button calls.
Turn: (4.66 BB) A/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(2 players) </font>
<font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, Button folds.
Final Pot: 5.66 BB
Had another one where the board was T9x and I turned the nutflush with another low card, if it matters whether it looks like I hit my pair or not.
