This hand touches people in bad places and is wrong

[oxymoron]

I prefer bet/fold. This scary river is equally scary to the BB and I can let this go if it is raised. I'm not sure why some of you are calling here when you are raised [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Wait, so basically everyone is saying that this is standard play(Nevermind the river)? Could someone please put me into the thinking?

Check and call one but fold to two. If you bet, neither player will call you with anything you beat anyway.

Ohhh, sorry for being so unspecific. But basically im kinda lost in these situations. On the flop is it standard to bet here? And on the turn do we really think two worse or drawing hands just called us on the flop? Or are we just counting on the villains to be idiots?

Yeah, I'd definitely fold if BB is allowed to make a double bet for some reason.

On the flop, we assume top pair is good. But you need to charge the flush and straight draws as well as anyone with a lower pair. You can't give anyone a free card that is holding any number of hands so we bet. The turn card is a blank so we fire again. This usually results in the gutshot draws folding. The river is in question because if BB called down with bottom pair on flop, he just hit trips. If he called down with two hearts, he just hit his flush. It helps in that if he called down with Kx, where x is bigger than our kicker but lower than a jack, we will now split the pot.

Thats really appreciated. Thanks mate.

meh, I prolly just check/call. bet/fold is ok I guess, but I hate pushing the fold button. If you had more of a "sucky fish" read, then I like a bet because youll get calls from really stupid things like 22 and A9.
