looks/smells like a blocking bet
 

i know i played the flop like a wuss but i didnt know what a raise would accomplish and im in position, and yes im pretty sure he turned a pair

so is this a blocking bet on the river and/or does he have a king? will he call alot of the time with said King considering the hearts?

thanks, been reevaluating my play lately, so all help is appreciated

...It's probably a duck.

i just dont understand some peoples betting at all

its starting to get me killed in certain spots

noone finds this hand at all interesting?

im getting hurt feelings

Re: looks/smells like a blocking bet
 

It seems the turn is one of two things.. trying to price himself in for a turn (which the [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] helped him) or trying to get a raise. Either way I think you are dead on the turn.

Re: looks/smells like a blocking bet
 

i cant be dead on the turn i have a nut draw

and like i said, i thought he turned a pair, maybe a straight, noone plays a flush draw like this

hero is def not dead on this turn

Re: looks/smells like a blocking bet
 

By dead I meant behind, not drawing dead. Poor choice of words.

Re: looks/smells like a blocking bet
