Default Re: Trying to learn when to check the turn

Grunch.

I've got some cleaning up to do on when I check the turn too. I've gotten a good handle on checking w/ outs when I pick up a draw on the turn, but my overs have missed so far. Getting c/r'd on the turn when you could take that free card to hit sucks.

I'm less likely to bet the turn when a known tight, tricky player has just called my missed flop cbet. My problem after that is figuring out whether I should call their river bet which is nearly inevitable if I'm still ace high.

Thinking about it now, it probably has to do if there was a flop draw that didn't seem to finish on the river. If it wasn't drawy and they bet the river, they're probably more likely to at least have a pair. Yes?

I dont' mind this flop cbet vs 2 since the board is uncoordinated and you still have two overs. If it were coordinated, I don't cbet because a draw is going to call you anyway so your fold equity is nil.

It's tough to say if another bet shouldn't go in on the turn. If our opponent also has overs, he just missed again also, but their not on a draw so the other option is we're behind. I think this one is close, but I don't know the right action.
