turn decision, with overcards
Against an unknown villain at 5/10, do you usually bet this turn?
Incidentally, I try to mix up the flop plays here, which I assume is reasonable. This time, I was considering raising the turn, had villain led again. I've been having success getting people to lay down middle pairs that way recently and wanted to see how this unknown player would react.

Re: turn decision, with overcards
I bet this. There's no reason for the 2 to scare him, and you didn't give him a reason to think you had a K. If you had been doing a ton of calling on the flop and then popping the turn, you may have gotten him to go into a shell with a mid PP, but it looks like he was just taking a shot at the flop.

Good hand. Your line is fine.
What are the pros and cons of raising the flop? Also, what do you do if he bets again on the turn? These are important things to note on the flop, before the turn gets there. -blake |

[/ QUOTE ] Hah, that's a fair question. I suppose I'm just making a guess. But I'm also putting myself in the position of my opponent. If I had a middling pair - and was playing against someone who had a pretty tight image, as I think I do - I'd definitely be tempted to fold in that situation. |
