Play from the blinds: QJs ($33)
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t15 (8 handed) internettexasholdem.com
UTG (t345) UTG+1 (t755) MP1 (t670) MP2 (t1515) CO (t950) Button (t965) SB (t2000) Scuba (t800) Preflop: Scuba is BB with J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">6 folds</font>, SB completes, Scuba checks. Flop: (t30) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">SB bets t15</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Scuba raises to t70</font> My thoughts: I am thinking I am likely to win it right here. If I'm called, that's fine too. Since I have position, and impetus, I'll likely check behind on the turn if I don't improve. Check/fold river if I don't improve. Edit: Can't check/fold river. Mean to say fold to river bet. |

I raise also but I don't raise that high. I think a raise to 45 or 50 will have the smae desired effect.

Why check behind on the turn unimproved?

Why check behind on the turn unimproved? [/ QUOTE ] seems like raising then checking the turn is weak, if you get called and blank the turn fire out 2/3 pot, that way you may be able to hit a jack or queen on the river and check behind for a cheap showdown |

I think I'd make it like 50-60, no big deal though.

Raise preflop.

Your flop raise sets up continuation strength on the turn, especially if checked to. I don't like checking behind.

I like the flop. I would fire 100 on the turn unimproved. We have 9 flush outs, 6 straight outs, and 6 overcard outs that may be good. Including our FE, I think a turn bet can be profitable. It also pays off when you hit your flush on the river and haven't completely announced your hand by checking the turn.
