Why bet the flop? As a bluff?

you're betting the flop to protect your equity.

say he has a hand like 98s. sure, he's not calling when you're ahead, but he's also not putting more money in behind usually either, so you're just giving him a freeroll to win the hand.

People try to bluff me with 98s/QJ/w.e all the time when I check behind on this flop.

fine if you want to call them down with ace high but Op doesn't seem to want to do that either.

Re: Turning AK into a bluff again
 

Can't you double barrel any J, Q, K, A, check blank. If he calls you down with small pairs you can start getting value out of medium pairs+

C-bet the flop. If he calls, check behind on the turn and hope to spike river.

This post is retarded for a lot of reasons, but I want to draw attention to it because when I used to play 25nl and 50nl this was the standard response. "You have AK, AK is a great hand, bet". But I would contend that versus this guys range our equity in this pot isnt so great, or at least, not great enough to make a bet a good idea, simply because you need to assign villain a lot of junk to put us ahead.

Teach me if I am wrong, but I feel like verus villains calling range we may as well have 72o if we want to bet here, because if he calls we are toast (and I feel like he calls more than he folds).

Re: Turning AK into a bluff again
 

i think betting the flop is fine. however by this logic if you aren't betting the flop, i don't see why you should be betting the turn

Re: Turning AK into a bluff again
 

I say you have to bet this flop. If you're only betting this flop when you have a piece why is anyone giving you action. Granted, this is 100NL, but I still bet the flop here.

I bet the flop, check through turn, and if he bets on river I usually fold but if I think there's a good chance he's FOS (like people at 100NL often are on boards like 55392 or something) I'll call and get shown garbage very often. But who knows, maybe I'm a tagfish.

Bet the flop for value, check behind on turn
