Very marginal situation, 94o

What about seeing the turn for cheap, and seeing if your pot equity jumps 10-30%+ if opponent is on a draw or overcards? Then make him pay.

Does anyone block this river?

I think the problem with a block in this spot is that you're either going to prevent a last ditch bluff from a missed draw or induce a bluff raise from a missed draw. Either way you lose out.

You might get a call from an 8, although I think most of those would fold the river after your turn and river bets.

i'm leading this flop 100% of the time

swolfe already said this, but why not lead here? You have top pair in an unraised pot, a raise of your bet isnt going to cause you to make much of a decision. A call might make it a little tricky but I think you take it down here enough times to make it worth it.

As its only you and 1 more I like leading/raising this one. But what do you do if theres 2 more? 3 more? I've been trying out some stuff but check/fold flop and bet turn seems to work best for me but I'm not sure.

What's your plan for the turn if called and a blank turn? club turn?

I assume we're dumping to a flop raise?

Just curious.

I agree. I don't really like raising here. I would call and see what the turn brings. Folding is not the worst option either, but a little weak IMO.

Looks like TJ. I'd muck for that river bet. What hand do you possibly beat? Only the flush draw didn't fill up, but all others did. Give it up, you're not going to make any money with that hand. After the turn call, yuo're pissed..

yeah, if there were more limpers, i'd obviously play it more cautiously. depending on who it was and what i think they limped in with, i may check/fold or i may lead at it...in this case, with a limper from CO, i'm betting the flop.

if they call, i'll probably fire again on the turn, then i'm not putting any more money in without improvement.

Opponent had 6d7c, MHIG.

Trying not to be results orienated. I like this line when I think opponent is on a draw, but it seems like I'd have to be pretty certain and would be costly when wrong. I'll have to take the advice people gave me who've been playing longer, and are most definitely better than I, next time I'll just bet the flop.
