Check-folding Two Pair

#1 09-01-2005, 07:46 PM

The turn bettor has been fairly passive, but I have not played with him long enough to have a great read on his play. I took his flop call to mean he has some sort of pair or a draw but really I do not have enough information to be sure.

bet the turn.

edit: i misread and thought you were hu with the button. I'd still bet the turn sometimes, but once you check and the button folds I think you have an easy call. I'd bet a river blank if you're comfortable enough to fold to a raise, if not I'd checkcall river.

Tough to find much to say about this hand without knowing your opponents. The pot is tiny and the board pretty ugly. I think you probably don't lose too much laying this down.

This lvl is above me, but why not just bet the turn? It doesnt seem unreasonable to be ahead here to me?
