Bet flop.

Shouldn't we raise this pf ?

Re: Axs flops TP in small pot
 

Yeah, probably: didn't see that the limper was a poster,

About the flop play: I think checking here should be almost standard.

Re: Axs flops TP in small pot
 

I don't like checking the flop because I like to lead here with all my draws and often checking made hands makes me a bit easier to read.

I'm certainly not folding the turn.

Re: Axs flops TP in small pot
 

Bet out on the flop. You almost certainly have the best hand as CO can have any two, and probably raises any ace preflop.

Without any read on CO you can't expect him to bet the flop, so I'm definitely getting a bet in. What do you do on the turn if the flop is checked through?

Re: Axs flops TP in small pot
 

Some things to consider

1. There are no real draws on this board, so your comment about checking here makes you readable isn't important.
2. You aren't only checking made hands, but most of the time air. So a check should not alarm your opponents
3. I didn't even consider folding the turn.

Re: Axs flops TP in small pot
 

Since we didn't raise PF, I don't mind a flop check. We probably have the best hand, the pot is tiny, and I wouldn't mind if CO took a stab at this.

I'm tempted to check/call the turn as well. The pot is still small, so I don't mind giving a free card. Also, I wouldn't be happy if I check/raised the turn becauase I'd have odds to call the 3-bet to try to improve and would then still be tempted to call the river UI because of how I've under represented my hand.

So if I check/call the turn, I'm probably donking any river.

*grunch*
for me at unraised pot HU i autobet any card to take pot and many player know about it so if i dont auto bet then they think somehing is wrong and i can have good hand.

but this hand is special cus villian probably is not so smart (post blind random) so we can play tricky like nix said cus pot is so small that free card cost us almost nothing

Re: Axs flops TP in small pot
 

i would just lead the flop. why do you want to be so fancy when we are OOP against an unknown with a decent but vulnerable hand? he'll either find a reason to call or he won't, but he can't call unless you bet.

edit: and yeah, we should raise pf.
