I just came across this advice in Carson's Hold 'Em Poker:
[ QUOTE ] "...say you're on the big blind with a hand like 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], and no one raised before the flop. The flop is Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]...You should probably bet." [/ QUOTE ] He then goes on to explain that you can't count on someone having a Queen and how you must avoid giving a free card. I have a couple of problems with this advice, but first I'd like to hear you guys' input. |

That's an excellent spot to bet. Maybe not 100% of the time, but you should definitely bet there with some regularity.

You'll find the same advice i HEPFAP. You bet because you might have the best hand and win it right there. If you check the last player to act will often bet regardles of his holdings, so you have no idea where you stand. If it get's chekked around and a T falls on the turn, then what do you do?
The point is that if you plan to play this hand betting out is better than calling! |

Not bad advice, though I'd prefer the Q to be a K.

One thing I don't see mentioned is number of players, and this is important. This is a losing bet if you're up 4 or 5 opponents, but 1 or 2, there is a very good chance you have the best hand and the pot is small and you could win it right there.

ok. I bet out. Then what?
If raised, do I auto-muck? If called, do I fire again on the turn? So much to learn [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] |

Speck,
You took your stab at it on the flop. If someone raises fold. On the turn unless your hand gets helped, check fold. |

So much to learn
Experience and posting hands will become your best teacher. |

"If someone raises fold"
No, that would be awful with 5 almost certainly clean outs. |
