Default Re: Caught the straight when semi bluffing. Action...?

you got lucky. You had a gutshot on a paired board at the turn.So you had 4 outs assuming he doesn't hold JT which is a common holding. I don't think his lack of raise on the turn was that bad a play. I would have popped you back but thats just me.Your $1 bet tells you nothing about your opponent. Lets say you played the same way at the turn, but the river didn't complete your gutshot, how do you play now? Fire another one on the river? check fold the river? For that reason, I don't like the $1 bet. you have no folding equity, you have to fold to any raise, and if villain just calls but river misses, you are still stuck.The only function of the bet seems to be a blocking bet on the turn hoping that your gutshot hits on the river.


It would have been funny if he turned over JT instead of JQ.
