bet the turn and your life is easier. why did you check behind? do you like letting people hit flushes for free?

Re: 10nl ak tuff river spot
 

I generally reserve pot control for known good players on drier boards where I'm losing less value by giving free cards.

Against an unknown, in position, and with a flush draw present on the flop, this is an easy turn bet.

Against an unknown and with 2 possible flush draws on board I would bet TPTK all day, both for value and protection. Quite a lot of players at NL10 check/call with a draw instead of betting, which is why you want to bet that turn to make him pay to hit his cards.

As played fold river, as he is very likely to have the flush.

Re: 10nl ak tuff river spot
 

You MUST bet the turn. Don't know about river, no busted draws so probably fold.

Re: 10nl ak tuff river spot
 

Please bet this turn. You MUST override pot control here because the only reasonable hand villain has is a flush draw.

Re: 10nl ak tuff river spot
 

Checking turn is ugly. There is no need to think this T is bad for you. =&gt; As the board is drawy bet somethin between 2,5$ and 3,25$ on the turn in order to make it expansive for your opponent to draw.
Think about folding if he pushes turn.

As played fold river.
