whats with the flop line?

Re: another thin value bet post
 

theres no draws I need to protect against and I want to convince villains I have something like JJ or QQ or KK.

ok. but, also, do you have reads on the villain? i.e. would they be calling ur PF raise with Ax? if so i think a 1/3 pot bet on flop is good idea to see if you can get a raise out of BB (if you can make them think you have KK).

also, am i correct ur folding to a BB raise on river?

Re: another thin value bet post
 

if bb raises the river, yes I'm folding. but hes almost never 3 bets.

bb is kind of loose and like to bust me with mediocre hands.

villain just got bluffed out by me a few hands ago but I did not show bluff.

Re: another thin value bet post
 

Checking flop is fine, but only so that you can raise the turn. Raise the turn!

yeah maybe I should have.

2 people with 3 outers become 6 outs against me eh?

I'll wait a while longer until giving results.

Re: another thin value bet post
 

How do you know one or both of them dont have 8 or 9 outs?

Re: another thin value bet post
 

hmm good point. didn't consider spade draw.

yeah I think turn raise is best.
