Default Re: $55: turn play confusion

Why did you bet the flop?

I think checking is much better here. It allows you to win a much bigger pot when you do hit your draw. The pot is small so taking it down now doesn't help too much.

Why bet the flop? I disagree with the idea that 135 chips aren't that helpful. I'm up against 3 opponents, two of whom have suggested they don't like their hands enough to bet this raggedy flop. Betting gives me a chance to take it down now and it often buys me the button and a free river card if I so desire. It also disguises my hand when I hit on the turn.

I'm comforted to see everyone thinks the turn is a fold. I did fold, but I took way too long to come to that conclusion so I figured I'd post.
