bet the river?

[twolf]

Playing Pacific's 3/6 game 6 handed.

I get ATo in UTG+1 there are posters from MP and CO
UTG folds, I raise, MP calls, CO folds, button folds, sb folds, decent BB calls.

Flop 6d 2h 6h
BB checks, CO bets, BB folds, I raise

Turn 10c
I bet, CO calls

River Qh
I check, CO bets, I call and my hand is good against 8d7d

Good flop c/r? should i attempt the turn c/r?

I don't like the flop CR because you can be almost certain that you have the best hand, but you can't be certain that someone will bet that ragged board. Given that you check-raised the flop, I sincerely hate a turn checkraise. Too often you will give a free card to a drawing hand that would have paid you off on the turn, but who will fold the river. By betting the turn, you also put yourself in the position to induce a bluff on the river, which is hard to do if you miss a check-raise on the turn.

bet the flop, bet the turn, bet the river

Yes this way you have extracted more than stated in the line above, but you take a risk of making much much less and i don't see why you want to take that. Perhaps you can elaborate on your choice of strategy?

Most idiots at Pacific will bet if it's checked to them and raise if it doesn't look like the flop hit the raiser so, I decided to take this line for the flop. As for the river I'm not sure they'll call with a worse hand and I may get sick if I get raised because he actually has a 6 and I may induce a bluff for a busted draw.

i see inducing a riverbet here for reasons stated in the first part of the last sentence where you say not a lot worse hands will call you. For your read on the flop where you say ppl raise a flopbettor if it looks like the aggressor missed: 3-bet, make 'em pay and cover yourself with a big fat pocketpair written on your forehead. Its pretty safe since this type of player is the kind of player that slowplays a 6 about 100% of the time(so him raising means he doesn't has it). Cr'sing the turn? why? be glad you've hit, bet and be on with it

i would bet the flop, bet the turn, check/call the river. i especially like the check/call the river to induce the bluff. it is one of my favorite plays, and oftentimes i get a big laugh (i mean really big...sometimes i wet myself) out of it, which makes it even better! we all need some levity when playing.

yes, i have a somewhat unusual sense of humor.

cheers!
