The flop bet is correct and necessary, so is the flop call.
The turn call is also a no-brainer (you've got a gutshot and your 7 outs are good). The river is iffy, if it is a VB then it is very thin. |

This bet does nothing to defend our hand. Anyone with any hint of a draw, even two overcards, is correct to call. The bet does nothing to protect our hand, our equity will change dramatically on the turn, either up or down. I see this is a pretty clear check actually. |

This hand is similar to the TT example in 'Two Overpair Hands' in SSH. I'll happily claim that Ed would agree to wait for the turn. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] |

The conversation of offering infinite odds vs. offering limited odds has been covered before. In addition, your gutshot adds to your potential equity in this hand. This is an easy flop bet. Rob |

I don't see the flop bet as a protection bet, I see it as a value bet - we have 7-9 outs to get better here. I think we should pop the turn but I am in the "over aggro" stage of my transformation from weak-tightie to 2+2er LOL. I agree with the consensus check down on the river. |

As the hand went, I'm checking the river, seeing as you are losing to everything he would c/r the flop with except hands like A3. If he has a 5 or a 7, or 88, you lose |

Perfect.
No need to hate the flop bet, it's easy. Absolutely no way to fold anywhere. And I don't think you can bet the river for value. |
