I really like the turn lead because it kinda makes it look like you don't have a J against a thinking player.

What cards did you plan to bet on the turn? What did you put him on? Overcards? Flush draw?

I think his most likely hand is overcards+(BD)FD.
I would have either reraised the flop or lead the turn if a non-heart flops.

Why?

[/ QUOTE ]
Because Shillx is using the board pairing scare card as a cover to value bet. Often, when a bet comes out of nowhere, the person doesn't appear to have what he has. That's why Shillx is able to check-raise on the river, because Villain isn't giving him credit for the J.

Good post - I agree with you & Donkey.
I hope you & bottomset are happy now. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

What was the idea of the river check? That villian would put you on a J if you bet and not call, so you induced a bluff bet? Looks good.

[hicherbie]

guess im the only one who likes 3-betting this flop huh?

[DeathDonkey]

3 betting this flop against a solid player is no good. Why?

If you three bet the flop, you will likely only get called on the turn unless it's a heart and villian made a flush. By just calling the flop, you might be able to expect Villian to bet the turn and then you can checkraise a non heart. In this case, a J came on the turn so Villian could be expected to get afraid of a checkraise and not bet, so Hero's best option now is to bet out.

Edit: If villian was on a heart flush draw, he probably wouldn't bet the turn anyway, so a bet by hero is good here anyway.

I think that was Shillx's thinking. That would have been mine, anyway.
