Firing the Second Barrel (long)

[Sarge85]

[ QUOTE ]

- be more inclined to fire the second barrel when the board is dry.
- if you pick up a redraw on the turn, be less inclided to fire the second barrel, even on a drawey board because you have to call a c/r

I think your blending a couple concepts together and you may have got your car turned the wrong way.

Assuming you yourself don't have a draw to a flush/straight - you should be betting the turn on the drawey board, and then checking behind UI on the river.

On a dry board we assume they may have something, since well their obviously not drawing to a str8 or flush. Again this is going to be somewhat player dependent and board texture dependent.

Now in the case where you have the draw to the flush as well as overs, you would/could be more inclined to check or check-behind because you don't want to be two bets to hit your draw on the times your opponent does have a hand. Again I'll add the caveat that this is somewhat board/player dependent.

Tyler had a thread (that got hijacked) that could have been labeled "Checking with Outs" that starts to hit on that subject.
