Re: Play a Hand With the Masters #3 Turn
Villian's check can mean a number of things including a bluff giving up, a semi-bluff hoping his weird small c/r on the flop will buy him a free river, a nine hoping to get to showdown cheaply, a bluff w/ a queen that now wants to get to showdown, Q9 that was testing the water on the flop but just got there and now is looking for you to hang yourself, a flushdraw that tried to take it down on the flop and is now looking to see the river, the flopped nuts looking to get trap you now on the turn.
In short, you are waaay ahead of his range and w/ one card to come, have less to worry about. However, your hand is still vulnerable and should obviously be bet. Since it's so likely that his hand includes some sort of draw that will call up to pot sized bets, I like that size or close to it. I'm going w/ ~700 here. (and calling a push)
