Default Re: Turn betting

i think that betting the turn is a mistake but its close depending upon your thoughts. if you check the turn and miss the river you can easily fold to a river bet. if for whatever reason you felt you need to make it to showdown then betting the turn has merits but only if you feel that you are not in risk of being checkraised by an overpair. if you think an overpair will checkcall this turn then you extract another bet when your flush connects when the opponent would have went check-call instead.

capping this flop shows immediate value with your 11-14 outter. the only problem with capping however is that when you connect to your flush you will only extract 1 bet when you are checked to when you would have extracted 2 by raising. you succeeded in getting yourself a free card and in this situation i think capping is ultimately correct.
