Re: K8s, stealing - continuation bets g00t? (RESULT)
Ok, so I bet the turn and Villan folded. So it worked, but I'm still not sure I like it.
This pfr is not usually in my playbook. I was bored, and when I saw K8s from LMP I was happy just to have two cards to play. When it came to me and half the table was already out of the hand (4 folds, 1 sit-out), I thought it might be an opportunity to try something different (which I think is a good idea, once in a while).
The flop bet I think is standard. I had no reason to think anyone else would bet, in fact just the opposite, and I a) had a good draw, and b)didn't want to give free cards to players I thought might just be defending against a steal.
On the turn since it was HU I figured my best chance of winning the pot would be betting. Even if SB was sliding along with a naked ace or king I hoped showing I wasn't afraid of the ace would convince him I had AA/KK/AK, and THAT'S the part of the play that concerns me. (I also didn't want to advertise that plainly that I was on a flush draw.)
Annyhoo, thanks for the input, all.
