NL10: Playing draws ... OESD, river scarecard

[molotom]

Is this correct / what other lines do I have here? I am not entirely confident handling draws; I don't really know when to check behind and when to raise (or when to bet into the draw OOP).

I don't really know what his turn bet means.

On the river, I doubt he has the flush, but then if he doesn't, he's afraid of it too, so a raise is incorrect because it'd just fold worse hands?

molotom, I raise the flop with my pair+draw.

I call the small bet on the turn and I raise the river to $3. He doesn't put you on the flush, either. I think we get calls from two pair-type hands enough of the time to make this profitable. IMO, a good portion of these guys can't see straights on the board well. If he pushed over the top of my river raise, I don't want to go broke in an unraised pot against a small bettor and I can get away.

But then I'd be cursing for not checking behind on the river. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

You have bottom pair and an OESD. This isn't a monster. Your line is fine and yes the river is like a WA/WB situation and I check behind ***edit*** or in this case call river.

The other line is to semibluff raise the flop. I'd reserve that line for premium draws.

Go to school on the SSNL stickies.

I definitely raise the river here. Villain has been betting small the whole way. I highly doubt he hit the back door flush. Raise to $3. Missing these value raises absolutely lowers your win rate. I'm positive worse hands will call you at this level. Whether this one would is unknown but you have to try.
