I know by betting these marginal hands I get myself into tricky situations but I want improve my game and get experience from different situations. Anyway I feel like I played this hand pretty bad.

Should I lead the turn also? After the hand I thought about another line, check raising the flop? because it shows alot more strength, and if I get called do I then shove the turn?

If your gonna lead this turn, why not 3bet flop

Re: NL200: K6s I steal blind vs blind
 

I thought about 3betting the flop but didn't want to get all the money in with 35% equity, on the turn I also get a gutshot which is why I thought about leading, but is check calling better? I just don't have any clue how to play this hand [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] more comments please

so you decided to get half of your stack in on Flop and Turn with nothing more than a Flush draw?

Re: NL200: K6s I steal blind vs blind
 

If anything, this hand illustrates how difficult it is to play draws oop. Its a difficult hand all the way through but your line is too passive. If your going to make a move, I like the check raise flop and push turn.

how would you have played it? on the turn I have 13 outs, so 13-38 or like 1-3, the pot is offering me over 2-1 I think I can call, I will most likely get the rest in on the river if I hit my draw

Nothing wrong with folding preflop either.

Re: NL200: K6s I steal blind vs blind
 

You prolly have a little better than 35% equity on the flop. You have a FD, 1 over, and a lot of backdoor straights. You are like 46% against AT, 33% against T9. 3betting the flop is almost def +EV. Also the fact that his raise is small makes me think his range is polarized so he will likely fold a lot. So I would 3bet.

By the turn, your equity has gone down and a lead is not as strong as a 3bet, so I don't like a lead that much. OTOH you cant fold so cc is fine. CR would be awk here cuz he pretty much cant fold.

bet/3bet flop is a very good line in this spot. his range includes str8(78, QJ) and worse flush draws (against which you have fantastic equity), TPMK (which will often fold to a 3bet), air, etc.
