Thinking Ahead and River Action

[QTip]

[ QUOTE ]
You're position relative to the turn bet is part of the reason I like just betting out.

That's what I was thinking after I did it. However, what else could they put me on but 2 pair on this board after I call the whole time and then bet out on an apparent blank?

You didn't give any reads (which I think are even more important in short handed games) but I wouldn't assume they're thinking anything really. Maybe two pair. Maybe top pair. I would think the 4 likely improved you somehow. But that doesn't mean they'll think that and it also doesn't mean they won't call with top pair or even a middle pair.

Reads...yeah...that's what's sucking about playing UB right now. I've got nothing at all. This was about 15 hands into the table. Only read was BB was a donk.

I check, UTG checks, UTG+1 bets, I call (should be thinking right now about what I should do if I catch my outs right? What would you be thinking?)



First, the preflop call isn't marginal. It is standard.

Now, does a four look dangerous to anyone? How about a three? How about a runner runner flush in a six max game? Are your outs well disguised? Hell, yeah. Let whoever has been taking the lead bet, then you checkraise.

I like bet/call, since UTG+1 could have been taking a stab with a weak hand on the turn.
