The fear strikes again

Would anyone else slow down their betting in this situation or am I just being a wimp?

The only thing I *might* do differently is bet the turn and call down from there pending a read, mainly because it looks like a third player is along for the ride.

i would bet the turn too, it could be a guy with 2 high card diamods buying for a free card and jamming the pot on a flush draw. Bet the turn and call

Bet out on the turn: you don't want to give a free card. If MP1 raises, then I slow down. Check/call the river.

0.05/0.10? I would cap turn and river. Why do ppl play nanolimits other than having fun?

that may be true, but then you start developing habits that you shouldn't for higher limits. i agree with the others that the best play would be to bet out the turn and call down if raised.

This is one type of hand I have trouble with. I play mostly 1/2 and 2/4.

I would not re-raise pre-flop, unless you were suited..

why do you all agree that the 3-bet on the flop is correct when the flop missed you? I don't see the pot odds being correct to do that.

I would have called preflop and flop and maybe folded the turn. The turn bet is OK because of the odds but I definitely would not raise.

TIA, tom

ummm...maybe they play different cards/hands at 1/2 & 2/4, but there is no such thing as suited K pair and i don't really understand where you wouldn't 3-bet with them preflop when you have such an advantage and the flop is good (other than a flush draw and trip Jx).

maybe you misread what he had???? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Am I seeing the same hand you are? Suited Kings?

My play is the same as a couple of others here. Bet turn and call raise and check call river. Overpair is still worth betting out on turn imo and only a flopped set or AA (more likely given preflop action) has you beat. Pay it off this time.
