Default A9o utg

10/20 6max 5 handed

I raise A9o utg, small blind (60/7/1.0) calls. I don't have any notes on this player.

Flop JJ5r
Check, I bet, call.

Turn JJ5Ar
Check, I check behind

River JJ5A8
Bet, I call.

I'd definitely bet the turn against this LP unknown. He'll call you with enough crap you have beat to more than compensate for the times you have to pay off trips.

I bet this turn everytime because my opponents (especially the (60/7/1.0) varitey) peel with all sorts of garbage on this flop.

Yes. If they did peel the flop with garbage why not give them a chance to pair the river and/or take a stab when they are drawing dead?

Thanks,

Problem is you can't do this with regularity because your opponents won't

a. bluff the river when you check behind because they know you'll be calling with so many hands.

b. fold when you bet this turn with hands like QJ where you'd really like a fold.

Poker is much easier when you bet your good hands and figure [censored] out from there.

I considered that line as well. I think this is better than just calling.

Is this a typo? I don't think anyone would ever fold QJ if I bet the turn... most likely they'd be C/R'ing me.

That's the thing though... there was really no draw out there so I fealt my hand was either WA or WB. There was no way a free card would hurt me, other than possibly tripping up a small pocket pair.
