clarkmeistering the turn?

[Slim Pickens]

A call can really mean anything on that flop, and I can't say I fault anyone for wanting to check/fold the turn rather than bet/fold. I think the turn bet/fold is a better line with the fourth flush card falling, but if you want to chicken out, fine.

The check/fold line on the flop is the one I don't get. One of your opponents has to be much more sophisticated than the typical low-limit player to raise with any two representing a made hand they don't have. It is very easy to fold to a raise on the flop. It is very easy to fold to a raise on the turn. Your opponents are unlikely to just call you down on that board.

Well, I don't get it either but some of those guys talk a better game than *I* play so there's probably something to it.

I suspect that it's just a multi-tabling concession. It's such a difficult spot to play (reads and analysis for which we've had several days luxury to look at) that it's probably superior to pick a better spot and look for more ABC hands on which to make your money. Why put yourself in this position when there are so many other spots where people are just trying to give money away?

I hate money, I guess. I bet this flop. I need a read to determine my later action and I probably check/fold the turn without one.
