Would you fold KK to reraise on Turn Straight draw board? - Page 4

Bet the flop. The average .50/1 player will go through whatever mental gymnastics they need to go through in order to justify a call and do so. They're not here to fold. That's no fun.

I'm done with this hand on the river after MP1 came to life.

Bet the flop. A lot of one pair hands will raise and you can three bet which gets MORE money in the pot. If no one was going to bet, then you get more money in the pot (and some protection). If EP was going to bet, they may now raise, which will give you protection. If LP was going to bet, you would have gotten some protection by check/raising, but by bet/3-bet, you will still make the field face two cold (although admittedly now in a larger pot) but you will also be getting more money in the pot if they call. Betting out here is definitely the play. At these small stakes, people are WAY too lose, particularly on the flop. Make them pay by betting.
