Why did you bet the flop? Why did you bet the turn? Why did you bet the river? I don't see the logic in any of these plays.

Good luck.

Same reason for all 3: becasue hero often has the best hand here. Not every bed has a monster under it.

Yeah, its brilliant to bet an underpocket pair when an A is out in a 3 handed pot EVERY STREET. Glad I read this post, it will improve my play.

I dont advocate betting the river necisarrily, but up until then we have no reason to believe that we are behind. Betting the flop is mandatory. Betting the turn is better than checking since we have an equity edge over flush and straight draws, and again, nobody has shown any interest in showingf any strength. Any A, K, Q, J or T could be calling along, but many of the As will raise, lead or checkraise. No reason to stop on the turn.

You have 2nd pair. THREE players have shown an interest in this flop, and the turn just put a 3rd piece of broadway up. You think it's "fearing monsters" to point out that you are probably behind? The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

Good luck.

So you think every bed does have a monster under it?

I agree, betting the river is bad. However, checking this flop is retarded.
