Blocking bet of $175 or so in case he was on a flush draw. If he pushes, he prob. has two pair or a straight and you should fold. If he is on a stone-cold bluff and pushes, more power to him.

No. Who says he's going to bet, and who says you are ahead? Make him pay to draw (if he still is drawing).

I like pineapple's blocking bet on the river.

Does anyone else bet bigger on the flop or turn to scare off a draw? Or is this building the pot too big without really knowing where you stand?

Good point. I don't think I would ever c/r the turn here. Why did I ask that then... [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

i agree with others to bet bigger on flop and turn and to block the river. turn c/r = bad.

I would bet a little bigger on the flop, about $100 (3/4 pot, which I find scares off most draws). Turn bet looks fine to me, about 1/2 the pot given the current line.
