Re: Do I cap this suited ace preflop?
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] Guys, don't pay so much attention to the preflop raise. The turn is where the real mistake is. [/ QUOTE ] Exactly. Why are you not taking a free card on this turn? Are you trying to buy the pot right there versus three other players? Given that board, there are a number of straight and flush possibilities, most of which aren't folding. Also, no one with a 5 is folding, and it's unlikely that a 9 folds either. There has been a lot of discussion about the preflop raise, but I'm really curious about OP's reasoning behind betting the turn rather than checking. [/ QUOTE ] OK, how about this (not that it justifies the bet, but just for arguments sake)... To buy two (or more) more outs. Suppose AJ/AT of clubs stayed in on the flop with two over cards and a backdoor draw. Or what about T9 or 98? Couldn't a turn bet buy two or more outs? Is that justified in a 11+ BB pot if a better hand folds? Just a thought. |
