Final pot: 68

if I bet the turn normally they easily can fold if they have nothing, with donkbet(and with "nut") I hoped they will improve, and they never think I have so strong hand

is my flop/turn/river play good ?
and could I extract more money from this party ?

Bet 1.5-1.75 flop.
Bet 75% of pot on turn, in this case like $2.
Yeah, get as much as possible in on river.

Bet flop, bet turn ,bet river. As played, I'd just call the river raise. Villian could have a hand better than ours. We misplayed our hand and could be beat.

I'm fine with flop check. Bet a bit more on turn. Getting all-in on river is standard IMO....get in everything you can.

Re: 50NL K2o from BB
 

imo you need to have bet the flop and turn. Betting on the earlier rounds not only gives you folding equity but also helps to build the pot up for the river.

FE? why do we want folding equity, and what better hands are we folding? I agree the flop and turn should bet bet, but not for fe [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Re: 50NL K2o from BB
 

I don't understand the turn bet.Are you trying to represent a flush draw? You want to be called by a flush draw - not try and represent one. All you represent with the minbet on turn is a monster or air.Bet more and they'll call with their flush draw regardless, this way you can get their stack in easier if your dream card gets there ( and it did).

I don't mind the flop play, you fold out 99% of hands that don't smoke you by leading there.

Every time I try FPS I usually lose a heap of value. I think most times you would have done so in this hand too.

Re: 50NL K2o from BB
 

what kind of hands will call my flop/turn bet ?

Mainly an another K will call, or raise(but AK,KQ,KJ will raise preflop perhaps) but all other hands except smaller pockets will fold to a flop bet

all Axs, all JQ,QT,T9, and smaller suited connectors can fold it easily

on turn I was 100% sure, that I have the strongest hand (only K4 can beat me)

here I don't want to bet, I would like if any small-medium pocket gets teh full house, or any Ax,Qx,Jx hits one pair, or any club flushdraw turn into flush on river

I beat all of these hands, if I bet the turn(PSB),I don't give the good chance to my opponets for improving
(and if I bet the turn , call with any Ax, and river A, he will pay less than if I don't bet the turn)

Or am I wrong ?
(on flop betting can be good, because I have no kicker, if I need it)

Re: 50NL K2o from BB
 

If you're behind on the flop you're drawing to 0-2 outs. Betting only forces out worse hands. Flop check isn't bad since it's basically a WA/WB spot.

I think you mean K5. You don't have to make a PSB on the turn. As alluded to earlier in the thread, they will call 2/3 PSB with a FD in those spots. The only other hands you get to call with the minbet are random badly played pocket pair hands they think are still good.

Also, why not put the guy AI on the river?
