Default KK, Party $30/$60

6 handed, player in the big blind is the reason I'm here, he is bad and very loose. CO is unknown.

3 players

Flop: Ad Qh Tc

check, check, I bet, they both call.

Turn: 6s

check, check, I check

River: Qc

check, CO bets, I call

Comments?

if you suspect you are beat, why call? if you think he's trying to take down the pot why not re-raise him?

Heads-up maybe, although probably not. 3 way absolutely not.

He could so easily have Ax or QJ here, i dont knoiw if hw bluffs enough to make this profitable. If you want to showdown, i would bet the turn for a free showdown since the only possible hands that are C/R here are TT or KJ, both unlikey given the action.

look you say it yourself, you are there because of BB. But BB is not leading the action its the CO. I think without any reads you are beat damn near 100% of the time. I am having trouble finding any hands that you beat actually. If you want the free showdown bet the turn, i am not calling the river here.

By checking the turn you have to call the river, as you will snap off a KT/JT hand enough here imo. the pot is big enough on the flop that people will call with a gut/pair and a gut and after that you didn't let them give you a chance to show you are beaten so you call. . .

i bet the turn to get hands like a medium pocket pair to lay down. obviously, check the river if called on the turn.

if raised on the turn, muck it. I'm as big a fan as anyone for getting to the end cheap in this type of spot, but I think here there is a reasonable chance you are ahead based on the action up to and including the turn checks to you. Fire.

Yes, but do you think I should have bet the turn as others have suggested?

Maybe I should have bet the turn, but I really didn't want to get checkraised. I guess that is scared poker, or a possibly a result of getting beat up last night, but I didn't feel this was a hand that was an easy fold to a turn checkraise.

I figured I had 4 clean outs, and most likely 6 outs if I'm up against an ace, or two pair. A checkraise would be uncomfortable as the pot would be offering me about the right price to continue....

Thanks TSP,

But is it really an easy muck if raised on the turn? Change the board to [A Q 9 8], and yeah easy muck to a turn raise since I'd be drawing to a two outer. But I've got at least 4 outs here, probably 6, which is enough where I'm kind of forced to call a turn checkraise. So bet the turn, call a raise, and muck the river unimproved? I'd hate that, but I'm not too happy with the line I took either.

Clear bet on the turn. Call if raised and fold if unimproved on the river.

As it went I think it's a fold on the river. CO is calling the flop with something, and bluff-betting with a hand like JT in hope of folding specifically KK or the (in his shoes) unlikely JJ seems like a longshot.
