Re: Play a Hand With the Masters #3 Turn
[ QUOTE ]
If you bet the turn why bet so much? You can bet a lot less and protect against a flush draw and have a better shot of getting villain to put more money into the pot. What hand is likely to put more money into the pot that you're ahead of? Aren't you losing value by betting so much?

With implied odds (I supposed that if he hits, he will bet as much on the river as you did on the turn - could even be more - but that also supposes that you call every time he bets the river (not always true).
He can have 14 outs if a pair and flush draw. 8 outs with a flush draw (not the 7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]) or 8 outs with an open ended 10J.
With 14 outs he will call any bet up to 1000 for sure. With 8 outs he has almost the right price to call 400 so may be tempted to do it. With a bet of 600, he will not get a good price at all, so it's going to be a fold if he has a draw or a call if he has a hand this way it's easier to play the river (bet pot is even better). Also betting strong makes it clearer that you will call an all-in where 400 seems low.
Also, does your future table image should impact how you play this? Do you want people to know that when you bet or raise, you do it strong so in the future, they will only play back when they have really strong hands. This will reduce the chances to be bluffed later?
