NL50 6m: AJ. C-bet an ace on the flop or check behind?

[yeotaJMU]

you have to bet this flop. are you going to try and check this hand down? likewise if he calls and checks turn check behind, but im probably calling a river bet unless its very large

[0evg0]

betting here turns your hand into 56o.

ducy?

[yeotaJMU]

can u explain? i dont see why

Cbet here cause you should be doing it a ton.

Sometimes people will call with Axs etc

Doing anything for the sake of mixing up your play or whatever is bad. Especially at 50nl where exploitability means 1000x less than it does at higher levels.

even if this 16/5 did have AXs (which he doesnt), you're still getting the same amount of bets out him whether you decide to bet flop or not. it's not like he's going to C/C you down with his A7s on all 3 streets.

[0evg0]

he is never calling a bet on this flop while behind. ever.

so check and earn at least 1 bet from 77-JJ. if you get reraised, it's an easy fold. if he leads turn AND river, you may be able to fold river depending on the board, but chances are you'll get him to bet for you when he has JT/T9 instead of a PP.

if you check back flop and bet turn, he's ALWAYS calling with a pair when the board is anything but like a T or Q

[yeotaJMU]

now i see why. ty

evg,

Where do you come up with this stuff?

[MightySan]

As you will see, I was reasoning somewhat like 0evg0. Decided to check my marginal hand.

Flop: ($6) 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
SB checks, Hero checks.

Turn: ($6) 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
SB checks, Hero ...

Bet? How much?

value time. I'd be trying to milk him for 2 dollars here and another two on the river.
