Default Re: Waiting for the turn

But what do you do when the "drive out the other player" factor backfires? Do you call down and pay off? Muck? Crap your pants and call mommy?

In this case, I would consider what I know about the player. Does he often bet/raise flush draws? Does he often attempt to slowplay big hands? Will he bluff a lot? Next I consider what the player has done in this hand. Does it fit betting patterns I've seen from him before? Notes are helpful here because I can quickly look and see if I've noticed him bluffing or doing other unusual plays.

Try it yourself. Tell me what you think SB's range of hands is on the flop. Then on the turn narrow that range to hands you think SB will check/3-bet.
