I'm finding the free card play very profitable at 5/10

[garion888]

You guys are right...i should have bet the turn...Here's a good estimate of my equity i think

Board: 8d Jh Qd 6h
Dead:

equity (%) win (%) / tie (%)

Hand 1: 45.1281 % [ 00.44 00.01 ] { Jd9d }
Hand 2: 40.6230 % [ 00.40 00.00 ] { AA-TT, AKs-ATs, KQs-KTs, QJs-QTs, JTs, AKo-ATo, KQo-KTo, QJo-QTo, JTo }
Hand 3: 14.2489 % [ 00.13 00.01 ] { random }

So if the situation were that I had a smaller flush draw and no pair the free card play is better right?

NM, at 5/10 this would probably be a horrid check after u posted in the CO.

Do u guys also raise preflop with no post?

Depends on what I think of MP2, but usually, yes.

Well, you're raising both ways. One way is for value (in the hand you had here), the other is for a free card (in the hypothetical example). I think that's what you're trying to say. Even so, if you had more opponents, your raise would be for value. This probably isn't the greatest example all around since you could have taken a free card on the flop and you were check raised.

What do you guys do if you whiff the flop after this kind of raise assuming the blinds fold? What if the BB doesn't fold?
I'm just trying to get a feel of how to play this if you raise and fail to connect...

Not betting this turn should be considered a serious crime.
Come on.


Flush draw
Straight draw
Pair

I don't think putting the hand range of a player who has paid three bets to see the turn as "random" is a good estimate. But I agree with the general points that your equity is good and you should bet the turn.

Missed the SD. I retract my check.
