Backing my stack with 1pair

[Dan Bitel]

I couldn't find a good time to slow down. Does he have QJ/QT often enough here? Any1 like a turn check?

I don't understand your turn or river bet, is there something you're not telling us about your table image?

no reads nor image.

What's your turn/river plan?

As played, how do you play river?

[AceofSpades]

Unless you have a read/timing tell that villain will call TPNK down all the way, then the turn play isn't good. So river isn't even worth changing. I suppose you could check/call, check/fold to &gt;1/2 pot is an option(if opponent is hyperaggro), and betting will get calls from TPNK if he is that bad.

Turn is a check/call, possibly block river/value bet.

The problem is that you have TP, 2nd kicker (on a dry board) and got called by a hand that didn't have to involve itself(ie: not the blinds). AK is very possible here.

[AceofSpades]

Actually the more look at it, the more I like check fold river.

I think he will check behind with King no kicker.

[cbloom]

My usual line without much read is check the turn, if he checks behind I'll bet the river.

[Jamougha]

Checking the turn is a great way to keep the pot small against hands we have crushed btw.

[gimmetheloot]

I find myself in these positions when im OOP all the time....Ace, your normal line is to check call turn and then 1/2 pot river?

[wslee00]

hm - i thought this was an easy 3 street bet - the only viable hand beating us is AQ... what do you guys put villain on when he calls the flop/turn?

[Dan Bitel]

to those saying check turn, What happens if he bets $20?
