got *%$...it\'s just a continuation bet (getting value on monster)
I'm just psyched at how this line paid off. Tell me what you think. Villian never showed but I think we can get an idea of what he had.
Villian is caller...sort of the sherriff at the table. Sorry no converter for Absolute... NL Hold 'em 1/2 SB (199.80) BB (70) UTG (236.75) Hero (350.65) CO (205.15) Hole cards: 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] SB posts $1 Villian posts $2 UTG folds Hero raises to $8 MP2 folds SB folds Villian calls $6 Flop:[$17] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Villian checks Hero bets $15 Villian calls $15 Turn [$47] A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Villian checks Hero checks River [$47] A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Villian bets $16 Hero raises to $50 Villian calls $31 all-in |

what is your reasoning for checking the turn?

If he'll call (or checkraise) continuation bets with high cards or a mid pair, this line is fine. However, your bet is fairly large for a continuation bet.
If you're gonna bet this flop, I'd probably lead for exactly half the pot (hopefully, he'll think i've just read HOH and get feisty) Of course, I don't think I have the balls to bet this flop, unless i've bet every flop in the past hour... |

Re: got *%$...it\'s just a continuation bet (getting value on monster)
being in position and checking behind on the turn will make it look like:
1) I'm "real tricky" and I tried to appear like I had trip 5's and I'm giving up now that I got caught. 2) I'm making a continuation bet and I'm giving up now. I really like checking behind on the turn with a monster if I've acted strong on the flop. I've used this line a lot and it seems to work fairly well. |

The reason for the big bet on the flop is because I wanted to seem weak against a moderately observant opponent. Checking the flop doesn't leave you with too many creative options. If he folds to this bet then fine...but if he tries to be the hero I win a lot...probably his stack.
