Soooted
 

10-20 6 max 5 handed


Villain just sat down this hand and is in BB.

I get Qs7s in the co.
folded to me, i raise.

button and sb fold, bb calls.

flop: ks 9s Td
he checks, i bet, he calls.

turn: Ah
check, check

river 9d
he bets, i fold.

Re: Soooted
 

I like the turn check. A bet there is no good because he aint gonna fold a pair and getting check raised would make me vomit. The river plays itself. Good fold. NH

EDIT: I dont read post well the first time.

Re: Soooted
 

I never know the right answer to this question but I'm dying to know.

I usually bet, get raised, and fold the river.
Or I bet, get called and check the river and lose to 33.

Good fold once you checked.

I don't know about the 10/20, but I like betting turns like this at 3/6. The A is either a shitty card for us, or a great card, and we'll take it down here with a decent regularity.

Since you have a spade draw you have to check this turn I believe. Without it a bet would be called for.

I want to win the pot now. If I don't, then I have a chance to win it later.

Re: Soooted
 

In a big pot I like that line of thinking, but since this pot is small and your going to have to see the river if raised. Your risking more with a bet here then you gain. The villian isnt going to fold a pair. If he peeled with an ace he just got there and your getting raised which is going to cost you two big bets.

problem is you cannot fold to a turn c/raise. and villian is betting river close to 100% of the time if we check the turn and those times we hit a spade we're getting 2 bets.

so when we don't hit we dont lose $, and win we do hit we win more $.

This line of thinking will work less for big pots as their odds to draw/showdown are much better. I think this turn is a bet for the reason that you will win the pot right here often and put a lot of pressure on a weak holding.

Killing our implied odds later on the river if we hit, plus getting check-raised destroys us on the turn.
