Re: Set of 2\'s vs. unknown
i dont like the turn check at all
4th spade falls, he bets, you punch yourself
4th spade falls, he checks, you bet, he check-raises, you punch yourself
4th spade falls, he checks, you check, he shows KQo no spades, you punch yourself
blank non-pairing falls, he bets, you call, he shows KQo you punch yourself
blank non-pairing falls, he bets, you raise, he pushes, you punch yourself
blank non-pairing falls, he checks, you bet, he check-raises, you punch yourself
blank non-pairing falls, he checks, you bet, he calls and shows KQo and you lose value
now think of this
you bet the turn, he check-raises, you can still call and stack him if it pairs, or get away cheaply if it doesnt
you bet the turn, he calls, youre in position to do whatever on the river - call a weak bet on a 4th spade, let it go to a strong bet on a 4th spade, or value bet a blank, or even check behind THEN rather than on the turn
def bet the turn
