To Bet or Not To Bet 5/10

[craze9]

Online 5/10, I sat down just a few hands before.

MP limps, I make it 40 to go on the button w/ A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

SB (Villain) calls. I've never seen this player before, but he has a stack (3.2k). I have 1.2k. BB folds and we take the flop 3-handed.

T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Checked to me and I bet 80 into 130 pot. SB min raises, BB folds, I call.

Turn: T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

SB checks quickly. To bet or not to bet?

To me his minraise/check seemed weak. I bet 200. He pauses for a moment, then calls.

River: 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

He checks again.

You...?

Wow, I'm not capable of a move like that. Haha.

too easy, unless you do it a lot. I like 3/4 pot/pot...

Fold to the flop checkraise, if a spade hits the turn you are not getting paid off.

[/ QUOTE ]youre getting nearly 5:1 immediate odds and closing the action.do you see why folding is a very bad play?

It's a little late for that, that was the turn move.

From the flop you have had 3 chances to win the pot. First he minraised you. Then he called you. Then you missed your draw. Give this one up and wait for a new hand (your A high might be good)...

Moving in on the turn is a play I would never make, and I think it's very bad.

The pot is $450. With what hands might any good player bet $1000 into this pot given the board?

If I had AA or an overpair, I wouldnt move in, because all worse hands would fold and I would most likely be called by a set or a made flush. If I had a made flush or a set, why would I want to put maximum pressure on my opponent to fold?

Moving in on the turn is a massive overbet that doesn't represent any specific hand. It's an unconvincing bluff that puts 1k at risk to win $450.
