Re: Party $11: Poorly played straight in level 1
I agree about betting the turn bigger - but that wasn't the question - at that point there's 190 in the pot, I'd generally raise 200. But at the $11 a lot of people with fourflushes are going to call anyways.
With two callers behind at $100 on the turn, the river jack that completes one of the two flush draws (and invalidates your straight to any queen) is certainly a terrible card. I'd just check here, at the $11 - I doubt your opponents are sophsticated enough to fold to a bluff holding any non-nut hand that actually beats you and you'd have to risk too many of your chips to make an effective bluff. Check and call a small bet but let it go if someone pushes.
