Default The Aggressive / Wuss play

The villian is 47/11/1.4 after 500 hands, with a 1.9 check raise value.

PokerStars 2/4 Hold'em (5 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is Button with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, SB calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>.

Flop: (5 SB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, SB calls.

Turn: (3.50 BB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, SB calls.

River: (5.50 BB) T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
SB checks, Hero checks.

Final Pot: 5.50 BB

Should I have fired the 2nd barrel on the turn? Should I have value bet the river? Thx.. BB

Looks good.

I would bet the turn and take a free river. River bet cards would be....any jack, non-diamond ten, non-diamond queen.

Don't hold me to any of that stuff though. I'm still working on my value bets and river folds.

Definetely bet the river and fold to a raise against this kind of guy. He is in pure calldown mode and looks like he is weaker than a T. If he C/R the river... I guess you fold, because it's pretty ugly.

I think you have to bet this river. Other than that, no problems.

Why not check behind on the Flop and bet the Turn? [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]
There's 5 SB when U bet the Flop and 3.5 BB when U bet the turn giving him pot odds to draw to a Flush. If U check the Flop and bet the Turn then he has no odds to call your turn bet if he's trying to draw to the flush or to two overs. You win without a fight. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I would check behind on the turn against this player. River is an easy value bet.

You have to bet this flop for possible value and fold equity. You may have the best hand, and you would like to avoid giving a free card. There's a chance you take the pot down right now because you showed strength preflop.

If only poker was that simple. What if he bets into you on the turn? What if a flush card hits the turn for free? You can't calculate a problem with only the factors you like and ignore the ones you don't like.

This is an easy flop bet for value, fold equity and turn options.

I suppose if you are going to fire at the blinds with a marginal hand, you may as well empty your gun.
