Looks good.

In general, how often are you firing again on the turn when you don't have a pair?

Re: 3/6: K8o Blind battle; I give up on the turn
 

I don't know. It's so situation and player dependent. I'll do it a lot against TAGs when I know they are calling the flop hoping to hit but obviously won't have odds to continue. This one’s hard because I think he's calling me with crap a lot on the flop, but I don't want to invest two more BB to see a showdown with K8 high.

Probably not. The main problem I have here is that betting at the pot isn't going to folding anything that beats me, but he's not calling enough with things I beat to make a bet and then a river check/call worth it.

ok I can buy that I guess but a guy this loose has a bunch of 6 outers that we're giving a free card to. how do you feel about that?

i hate these situations

It's worst really. I feel like he's probably betting a lot of them. I haven't seen this guy enough to know what he's like post flop, but PokerRoom has struck me as a really LAGy place with a lot of semi-smart donks. I wouldn't expect him to check though very often.

Re: 3/6: K8o Blind battle; I give up on the turn
 

I check/Call flop and then Cr/Bet the turn because i'm a donk and everyone loves to fold when a flush falls [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] (Except the guys with his WTSD numbers [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img])

Is there any other lines pf or flop that doesn't leave us in this situation because losing this pot this way seems pretty inevitable.
