Bet more on the flop and turn. Bet the river.

I guess you are right, how much would you sugest I bet on each street?

Caballa · #4 05-30-2005, 04:33 AM

Personally I'd bet something like 3/4ths of the pot on the flop and turn, and around a third or half on the river to encourage a call from a weak king.
The way you played it, though, I wouldn't be surprised if SB had AJ / QJ and was calling along because of how weakly you were betting.

Edit: You might want to bet more preflop, too, to try to get heads-up. $1.5, $1.75, something like that.

Bet more on both flop and turn. You dont achieve anything by your less than half pot bets (apart from letting the guy draw for a wonderful price).

Bet anywhere from 2/3 pot to full pot

Full pot on flop, 3/4ths pot on turn, given that SB has shown no aggression, value betting this river is fine. Fold if checkraised.

Why do you bet the river ? What pays you off ?

Most of my stack will already be in the pot with your line by the river. So if I bet the river can I really fold to a checkraise?

I think checking the river is fine, but what do I know [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Checking the river is good.

He showed QTs for the straight draw. I agree that I should have bet 3/4 to pot on flop and turn, to make his odds worse.
