I checked this flop because the board is so dry that unless someone has an improbable underset, there's just not much to give me value. Given that, should I raise the turn, or call hoping for an overcall/hoping he fires again on the river?

Yea. This is a good flop if you're going to slow play

I would raise the turn however. Get some value out of those draws.

I'd probably bet 60 on the flop, but I can see the value of checking.

I definitely raise the turn. You don't have too many more chances to get your money in. You didn't flop top set to pick off river bluffs.

Re: $27: Top set in unraised pot
 

Hoping for an overcall on the turn is wishful thinking. I prolly raise like 250 on the turn.
As played it looks like he`s valuebetting the river. So i like your raising size.
If he doesn`t pay off, then you wouldn`t have made much money anyway.

I also think you should raise the turn. If you get called you stand a good chance of getting them all in on the river; If not you probably weren't getting any more chips out of him anyway.

A check is good, but I've started weak betting the flop. Generally you get called and build the pot a little more, and sometimes people will play back at you.

Awesome flop to slow play...no problem w/ betting the flop but I'd like to have my opponents catch up a bit on this type of flop.

As played raise the turn to like t240...other than that I like it a lot.
