For those of you who question the free card risk by checking this turn, you have a good point. But the way our HU match had been going I was very confident that he would bet any 2 cards when checked to on this turn.

What's up with checking the river in hand 3?

Once the 8 paired I really only wanted 1 bet to go in on the river, and I pretty much expected him to bet any hand that he would have called a bet with.

Calling the turn in hand1 takes some sort of read that I wouldn't have, or some sort of understanding of the affect your shania has on the opposition.

[/ QUOTE ]this doesnt make any sense. i think hes prob not betting unless he has you beat... but hell call with anything here. even, like, Khigh. v easy bet... that check was a mistake, man.

I wasnt exactly excited to call down after his 3bet, but my read was that he would have raised the flop with a pair, so I went with it.

So screwplay is the sexy for the turn instead of river?

hmm, i guess i dont know. i feel like i am never winning if 2 bets go in on the river. and having capped the turn myself, i still dont really know where im at. the 8 was definately a bad card for me. also, if I check he might bluff a busted flush draw taht he couldnt call with. you are right about him calling with A or K high, but he probably doesnt have that unless it was with hearts. i think its pretty close but i could definately be wrong.
