after he calls my cbet i'd imagine he has a Q or a set, i checked the turn planning on folding to a bet.

i bet the river hoping to get a call from JQ/KQ, i'd imagine he'd prolly check those down if checked to.

standard? thanks!

Re: 50nl TPTK, line check
 

At 16/9 his call out of the BB is almost always a pocket pair. When he calls behind on the flop you can't be completely sure it's a set, but it's pretty likely. On the turn he's just checking his boat/quads because if he's not raising the flop he's not betting the turn. If he doesn't have 77 or 33, he surely had 55, and you made a good fold. I don't like the value bet because QJ/KQ rarely calls out of the BB here at 16/9 but it's possible they would play it that passively if they did.

good logic, i probably c/c river, and say damn i knew he had trips, and if not we get a valuable read that hes calling bb with qj-- infinite would you c/c? or c/f to more than a 2/3s pot sized bet?

bet the turn

why bet the turn? hes not drawing, if im ahead he has 3 outs, i think hes more likely to calla river bet with QK etc than a turn bet which he might fold to.

maybe i should just check river, but i didnt think he would bet with a Q, only with his boats.. i didnt wanna c/f [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] maybe thats best though
