NL25: line check flop/turn, ugly river spot
 

No stats on villain, he sat down maybe 2 orbits ago. But he seemed to be fishy, in this 2 orbits he did stuff like limping in most pots from any position and minreraising from EP and then folding to another minraise.

Final Pot: $18.50

My line:

Bet flop should be a no-brainer, I usually cbet about 90% and I have middle pair and a (weak) flush draw.

Turn: 3 options
1) push
2) protect against a higher flush draw / set
3) check for pot control

I'd only push if I put villain on a set, no way I can do that here. Checking is out of question, why did I bet the turn as a semibluff, when I complete my draw at the turn? And against a fish it's a bet for value and to protect from a higher flush or an unlikely draw to a full house.

River: really ugly card. I can't see much that I beat, the odds are tempting though.
When I was playing, the fold seemed to be easy. Afterwards I am not quite sure about the fold...

Result oriented as I am (damn!) now a turn push looks much better [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Re: NL25: line check flop/turn, ugly river spot
 

I think I like a turn push. I think we get calls from two pairs, sets, and Ad hands from a fishy player and we aren't behind very often.
On the river I fold also because I don't think we're ahead nearly enough to call even this small bet.
