Action on turn?

Bet it, if he has nothing you won't win much anyway, but there are alot of possible hands on that board that can pay you off and you want a chance to win his stack.

[rakeback123]

agree, bet. any Q will pay you off, so will an Ace of clubs, and any straight draw.

[resboard]

I disagree. Personally if i make the flush and i have checked the previous round i will check again. Betting out when a scare card comes normally does just that, scare. At this point we are putting the CO on a weak hand due to the min bet. Lets give him a chance to stab at it again and go from there. My 2 cents.

I like to overbet here. Clearly the CO has nothing. Maybe if we bet $5 if he has any sort of draw he cant help but get a piece of the action....

I see alot of checking when scare cards come, and I wanna build a pot if he does have something. If i check hes just gonna check id believe. But who knows its micro

I use this strategy alot at micro, and it works a fair amount. I didnt think of it at the time

Flop - I hate not leading or c/ring here

Turn - Bet and hope he has a worse flush/Q/Ac

[Kasane]

Bet the flop. You want to build a pot here. Then bet turn, too.

[rakeback123]

in the long run you will want to build the pot so that if he does have A or a straight draw hes gonna pay you off enough.

[Check_The_Nuts]

I'd normally either bet flop or check raise. I would only check/call if I've been playing my draws passively lately, and then villian would be wrong to fold this turn with a pair about 60% of the time.

[PJo336]

Once again tho, a check seems like he would just check any pair, if hes astute maybe even 2 pair. imo

[Sam Spade]

I agree. Overs + 2nd nut FD = build a pot. I prefer leading the flop for 2/3 pot unless you have a strong read that villain will bet. If he does give me the opportunity I'm c/r the pot and instacalling a shove.
