well played... if you replace hero checks with hero bets on the flop and river and maybe even the turn... what happened here?

Why didn't you ever bet?

Why didn't you ever bet?

I wanted to checkraise.

Then I wanted to check-call.

Then I wanted to check-call.

I think you pick this pot up 1 in 4 times or better with a turn bet.

edit: I also think A-high calls this river but does not bet this river.

I think the turn semi-bluff is the way to go.

On the river, I don't think I'll be ahead often enough when called to bet. I know, I know, it's party .5/1, but guh.

I would also go for the turn bet.

River is a check-call.

Bet the flop. Bet the river.

Bet the flop. Bet the river.

Hmmmm. I'm not really grokking betting the flop. Almost certainly behind, small pot, strong draw, don't I want callers?

your 2-1 to make your hand on the flop, if one person calls you're even money, if they both call you're making money, if they both fold you win the hand [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] i dont see any reason to not bet this flop, for 1 sb on party .50/1 no one is going anywhere..
