Flop-call, turn-semi bluff hand

Stack · #1 10-20-2005, 07:26 PM

Been a while I haven't posted a hand.

My river call sucks. How about the flop/turn play? (I had 10 hands on the guy, had not noticed anything unusual)

The river is defintely bad even getting 10:1. Do you think it's better to raise the flop, or the turn?

I like raising the turn in hope of a free showdown with this hand if you didnt have the flush draw id probably raise the flop and take a free card if i can

I would probably raise the flop, but your way may be better. As you said, I think the river call is very ill-advised.

What do you put him on when he bets the flop?? I put him on a better hand that's not folding, or KT. So I'd raise the flop, bet the turn, and check the river.

i agree with cartman and all1n

You're probably right about him not folding any hand on the turn (either paired or oesd). I was really hoping to be able to check behind on the river, or get an extra BB when I hit. I thought this was the right situation for this play.

However, after the hand, I thought that if I have to think about the possiblily of being 3bet, raising the flop is better as I'm much less of an underdog than on the turn. Hence the post.
