so you have a thin pair of eights

15/30

Decent player opens MP nothing too fancy likes to checkraise the turn a whole lot but has a pattern to that. Terrible player cold calls next , and I cold call with 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. The rest of the field folds.

7 2/3bets

Flop is 6s 5s 3s

Openner bets, bad player folds, and I call looking to raise any safe card on the turn.

4 2/3 BB
Turn 7c

Openner checks, I bet, he calls.

Opener checks. Thin bet here?

[JimmyV]

Absolutely.

[bobbyi]

I'm not sure it's that thin.

[jayheaps]

it depends if you think you will get called with ace-high. if not, check behind. What hands could he have hear that you actually bet. most like hand is either A/K (with a flush card) or a TT/JJ. If he will fold ace high you should check

[rigoletto]

Yes! No 99, TT or JJ would let As draw free on the turn and with that board he could very well put you on a move on the pot and call with AQ/AK.

[elindauer]

It's not thin. Bet. You'll be called down by ace high, which is exactly what he has. An overpair would almost always bet the turn, and if not, generally would check-raise.

Good luck.

Bet and hope ace high calls.
