what would you be representing? take a free card. You're not pushing him off his J

Re: Time to Bluff?
 

He doesn't fold here nearly enough to make a bet the right play.

1. Check Behind
2. Spike a K
3. Beat JT

Check and see if you can catch a queen, king or ace. BTW I think a smaller "probe" bet would've been batter on the flop. Something like 400. But your bet was fine in my opinion. But yeah... take a free card for sure here [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

i like a push

Reads?

Pushing seems like a spew here, in a $20 mtt I think you get looked up way too much by 1-pair hands (and obv by bigger hands). I'll grant that the FD didn't get there, but the double-gutter did. And, no J is folding here.

Re: Time to Bluff?
 

I agree with the peeling crowd. It's possible he's drawing, but I think it's worth it to try to hit one of your likely 8-10 outs. Plus if he checks a blank river you can be pretty sure a bet will take it down.

Nice cbet, time for a free card!
