Im torn between betting the turn, and not betting the turn. getting c/r would suck, but its HU and betting does some stuff for me (gets him to fold, charges him when hes on a draw). I dunno...I prolly bet

Then again he could be going along with Tx.

Anyone here not bet the flop? You are very likely to be called or raised by a better hand with suited T and J on the board. A lot of hands fit with that board. With both overcards and two good draws out against your hand, I don't see much wrong with letting it go on the flop.

actually, that makes the most sense

I like just checking pre-flop. Not a lot of callers and you're most likley going to flop one or more over-cards. Anyways, I would bet the turn.

I think Id bet the turn but check the river. I dont see him calling the river with a lower pair or A high(?)

[Smokey98]

What about check raising the turn?

[alekhine8]

Here was my thinking on the hand.

Preflop - I didn't see any cries out to raise this preflop. I usually wouldn't do it.

Flop - Small pot and I may have the best hand so I took a stab at it. As someone mentioned, part of the problem with this board is people calling could have anything and I won't have much of a clue if I'm ahead or behind.

Turn - Maybe I gave the SB a free card, but I'm giving myself a free card too. I thought about betting and folding to a C/R, but I thought this would be a good board for someone to bluff. I'd rather go to showdown for one bet (at the most) if I felt I had a chance to win.

River - I think I made a mistake here, as I can not think of many hands that the SB will call with that I beat. Maybe a three, 44-77 or ace high. But does the average Party 2/4 player call with those hands or worse enough to make this a value bet?

SB showed ATo and MHING.
