Default Re: Risk Or Reward

What do you think about a raise on the turn. My thinking is I can possibly take down the pot there, or it is only one extra bet to me and a larger pot.

1.) if you really think he has the K, then you can't take the pot down here. I doubt seriously anyone with a K would donk the turn then fold to a raise.

2.) your pot equity is much lower on the turn than it was on the flop. you only have one card to come to complete your straight, and your pair outs are likely dead.

In a word, bleh. You played the hand fine. I wouldn't change a thing. It's good to start thinking about these kind of lines, but at this level, you will most likely just get yourself into trouble.

That is bad. You don't want to risk getting raised here and be forced to throw in another bet when you are just on a draw. Check/Call is the way to go since it's likely he have a K. If it was a blank like a deuce, a bet on the turn wouldn't be too bad. I do it like 30% of the time, but in the end, it all depends on the opponent.
