Been sitting for an hour and haven't won a hand. This is probably the 3rd hand I've played in that time out of the blinds, so my image is pretty tight. Other players are a mixture of typical 4/8 commerce regulars.
utg open limps, Hero is utg+1 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] and limps, mp2 limps, c/o limps, blinds check. 6 to the flop for 6sb. Flop is A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] checked to hero who bets. mp2 calls, c/o calls, bb calls, everyone else folds. (Anyone prefer a checkraise here?) 4 to the turn for 5bb. Turn blanks. bb checks, hero bets, mp2 calls, c/o calls, bb folds. 3 to the river for 8bb. River is K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. Hero checks, mp2 bets, c/o raises, Hero folds. Anyone play this differently? |

I'm just wondering why you bet the turn? I don't think you're ever going to get everybody to fold, and you're at best neutral EV if everybody calls. Whats the advantage over checking?

On the turn I have 3 other players in the pot and I've got 12 outs. If they all call I'm actually ahead a bit. Also, betting allows me to keep control of the hand. If I check it then mp2 might bet and the c/o might raise, facing me with 2 bets that I have to call due to pot odds. The turn is not going to get checked through on this board, so I might as well be the one doing the betting, right?

If the person left of you is aggressive you can go for the checkraise on the flop. I don't like betting the turn.

You also have to call. There is no difference in the total amount of bets you call on the turn (two). However, it might just get checked through. Betting does not buy you outs. |

One other thing - If you check the turn and then bet the river when you catch a diamond, you make less bets on the river. After all, most live players only call with draws and would never think of betting them. With a weaker draw in this spot it would make sense to check call, but If everyone calls me on the turn I'm still close to even money and if I make my hand I'll get paid off or possibly even raised by someone with two big pair or a set. If I make it obvious I'm on a straight or flush draw I won't get this kind of action unless I'm beat (nut flush, etc...)

6 to the flop for 6sb. Flop is AK9 checked to hero who bets. mp2 calls, c/o calls, bb calls, everyone else folds. (Anyone prefer a checkraise here?) [/ QUOTE ] I think you have to bet out on the flop - the whole hand looks good to me. |
