Default Re: turn spot

I was the CO in this hand, and the button was a seemingly decent player, but we'd only played 35 hands together or so.

He bet the turn, I c/r, the river blanked, and he called down.

I showed 65 of clubs and dragged the pot.

Do I raise that very often in that spot? (pre-flop) No, but sometimes I do.

I think checking the turn is a good chunk better than betting, and if you do bet, calling down a c/r is a pretty big losing play.

You guys want to 'charge' so bad it's incredible. I think this is one of those boards where there's so much going on on it and you have a pretty weak hand yourself, it's best to just check behind, call a river bet and be done with the hand. If he's a complete moron then you can bet a little easier, but with good players, you just can't get away with trying to charge them in situations like this.

Least that's my thoughts.
