Flopped nut flush, action on paired turn

bizaff · #1 09-04-2005, 08:32 PM

Villain is 18/4.5/2 over 44 hands. Showed down Q7 from blinds and a poorly played set of jacks which lost to a rivered straight. I've been playing about 20% of my hands. I've been continuation betting a lot, so with the flopped nuts, I thought I'd slow down.

Raise to $15 and value bet river. Theres no info to suggest hes made a boat.

I bet that flop 100% of the time unless villian is über-aggro. The fact that you have made alot of continuation bets should only make you more prone to bet the flop.

Flopping the nuts and betting hte flop is why you make continuation bets with air.

As for the hand, figure out how to get the most money in.

Yes, you (and the other two replies) have it correct - if I'm going to continuation bet a lot and I haven't shown down anything strong lately, I need to bet at the flop.

More of the turn..

Oh well. I tend to agree I'm good here enough to make the call. I still think I made a mistake by not betting the flop. If I'm making continuation bets, I need to make them when I hit too.

Also, after the hand I considered raising to $15 instead of $20. This gives me a chance to get away from it if I think he can play a set this way. Or is that just wishful thinking?
