Handling bets that come out of nowhere.
No reads.
I think a river raise would've worked better. Party Poker 15/30 Hold'em (6 max, 6 handed) converter Preflop: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, CO calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, SB completes, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, CO calls, SB calls. Flop: (6 SB) J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, CO folds, SB calls. Turn: (5 BB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, Hero calls. River: (7 BB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, Hero calls. Final Pot: 9 BB

Re: Handling bets that come out of nowhere.
I like a river raise here. That stop 'n' go turn bet is often a "feeler bet" with a weaker holding like middle pair or TPWK, since you would auto-raise something like AK on the flop. Let him squeeze out a couple of BBs and raise the river.

Re: Handling bets that come out of nowhere.
I don't understand. What is wrong with betting the turn here?
Chances are he'll call if he's on a draw or has Qx, and raise if you're beat, so why not punish him for betting the turn?

[/ QUOTE ] I agree. I like waiting to raise the river on dry board. This, however, is NOT a dry board. There are a bunch of draws that he could be betting here, and he will probably pay off a weak Q anyway. In the cases he has a weak Q, you make the same by raising the turn or river. The times he has a draw, you make less by raising the river: he won't have a hand to call your raise when he does bet, and he will give up and check-fold some portion of the time too. Get your raise in while he still has something to call you with.
