Default Re: 30/60 turn spot

3-betting is really bad. You're going to cost yourself 2 more big bets for your draw if 4-bet by an 8.

I don't see why so many people say betting the turn is so bad sans read on BB and being heads up. It's only a "bad bet" because of the check-raise, which we didn't know was coming. If BB folded what could have been overs, a small pocket pair, or a piece of the board with no draw, the result would have been a good one (and we probably wouldn't see this post). It's a semi-bluff turn bet, but don't take it to the extreme by 3-betting your gutshot+nut flush draw. It's only marginally pretty on the turn, especially since it's almost a lock that BB has one of your outs.
