Checkraise the turn.

(someone said they liked brevity in that other thread).

How about 3-betting the flop when it gets back, raised, to the hero.

It's ok, and I've done it in this spot, but I think calling is probabaly slightly preferable. It's not like you can fold the initial bettor out if he's got QT.

Yeah, checkraising the turn seems like a good idea now that you mention it. Not sure what i was thinking. I must have been all caught in the excitment of the hand. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

If you don't mind me asking, how would you handle being 3-bet after check-rasing the turn in this hand?

Hi Mike,

I bet this Flop virtually every time. Were you intending to check-raise?

When all else fails, be sure and get there on the river.

That was precisely my intention. When the button made it two bets, I decided to just call a see what the original bettor would do.

Yeah, well. That's like, your opinion man.

Re: Q-9s Party 2/4
 

I'd definitely call the river. I'm surprised you didn't check-raise the turn, having turned top pair. You probably have the best hand, and have plenty of outs if you don't.

my 2 cents.
