Re: Find the mistake
I probably would have bet the turn when the blank hit. Probably not much more though ~ 1/3 - 1/4 the pot to see their reaction. I've seen tons of *bad* players start with what they think is a great hand (ATo) and then flop a draw and you can almost hear them say "Well I'll give it one more shot to see if I hit." So the one call is acceptable to them even if its not the right play. But if you fire one more *small* (in relation to the pot) bet in you can either
1. push them off their draw because they don't understand the pot/implied odds they get for calling
2. they call a small bet and then when the scare card comes on the river you can check fold with some of your stack still intact.
I'd love to hear feedback on this thought process though with someone with more experience.
Morgan edit: I have to admit that hitting my set of queens with a queen on the river is tough to view as a scare card!!!
