you might consider a turn bet after two checks here. Your hand looks better with that undercard, and a bet might get a hand like QT to fold.

I think this is very player dependent.

True dat. "You might consider..."

I think betting the turn kind of kills some of the value of raising on the flop by passing up the chance on a free card.

Yeah, the only reason I didn't mind the flop raise here was because it got the free card.

I think the line is pretty good. He got a free card, that didn't help. I would bet this river after the turn was checked through against 2 players. Is that a mistake?

I don't see much value in a bet here, you're better off taking a free showdown.

I'm interested in thoughts on that as well. I think I'm just checking through, though. Worse hands are folding and better hands are probably calling...not much value in betting I don't think.

lmbree · #27 03-01-2005, 11:41 AM

You are right. I don't think there is value in betting the river, but I am sure I would do it. Now I need to ask myself, why? I think I'm allergic to checking down 2 streets when I have the button (a leak I'm sure).

QTip · #28 03-01-2005, 11:42 AM

I used to be the same way...I think I'm starting to develop more discretion, especially valuable on these larger streets.

There is nothing to be ashamed of in checked down 2nd to bottom pair 2 streets in a row. Be grateful you got to showdown for free.

It would make me wish I bet the turn, but not make me bet the river. I don't think you're ahead 50% of the time you get called.
