Flop Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Turn J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

SB checks, I bet, SB calls

River 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

gorgeous...you can also consider checking the turn and calling a river bet.

I think I like the checkbehind, call river line more

Re: Too much??
 

This is made an interesting hand when BB fails to bet the flop.

I check behind on the turn.

You could get checkraised here with 2pr or AT and end up folding the best hand which would lick balls.

I call a river bet (expecting to snap a bluff) or bet for value if checked to (villian will think I'm FOS after checking the turn).

I agree, it would suck to get C/R'd here! I was just about to reply to JaxUp the same thing then I saw your post...

I think this is a key thing people are failing to address when planning on checking the turn.

Yep.. I agree, think this is the best line after pondering on it a bit. BB did indeed have 2 pair (K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]), but totally went weak-tight with 4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] on the board.

Spot on, spot on. He is apperently afraid of something when he checks the turn and river so I would throw out a bet on the river and call a raise, but a raise from him is VERY unlikely here.

I like this all the way. After BB ck/fold on flop I think we are looking better.
When Js fell on turn I fear a better spade might ck/r here but since he doesn't, and he cks the river, I think we are good here. I bet this river.

After reading others checking the turn does sound good. I need a lot of work in this area. Shilx says it very well.

Hey Bravos!

Grunch:

I like the pf and flop play. BB must have missed VERY badly [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I play the turn the same, even with a weak flush. On the riv, I really don't see how else you can play it. Your seven beats the board & the SB needs either the A or J-8s to beat you. Since he didn't c/r the turn when he would have made a flush, I'm guessing you are good here, but I'm not re-betting the pot. If he also has another spade, 5 are higher & only 3 are lower. Checking behind is OK.
