4 flush/overcards and a river bet.

Ok so looking back on this hand I think that anybody who calls me is going to beat me, so I don't think it should have been made. However a bet on the turn was quite possibly in order.

I think you should bet the turn and call a raise.

No reads on either player? A turn bet is a nice semi-bluff that is likely to get other draws when followed up by a river bet when you miss, but against standard calling stations (and there are alot at 1/2) its tough to make that river bet without knowing they won't just call with any pair.

Yeah, I'd definitely bet the turn there. I'd check/call the river most times I think. Betting the river ... well you might get called by a worse ace if it's out there, but I'd expect a call from any pair, so I think checking and inducing a bluff is better.

I think I probably had reads at the time I copied this hand down, but I played this maybe a week ago. Obiously I won [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Your turn and river actions are backwards.

Aye, that's the conclusion I came to as well.
