bet/3 bet the flop

I would bet/call the river.

First of all don't post the results in the title. Knowing what your opponent had can only hurt the discussion.

Secondly why didn't you bet the flop? Unless you had a read that someone behind you was likely to bet so that you could perform a check-raise, there is no excuse for not betting here.

You don't generally slowplay on a multiway pot unless the situation was something like uncoordinated flop, SB bets and you're next up with a set and many players behind you. Then you just call the flop, being ready to 3-bet if anyone does raise behind you.

Preflop is fine.

Bet the flop. You don't know who's going to bet it for you since there was no pfr, and even a weak ace might check this through. Raise if you get the chance. The only hand you're afraid of right now is AA, and did I mention that there was no pfr?

You finally dug into it on the turn. Good.

Why are you slowing down on the river? The only hands you're worried about are AA/KK/AK/A6/A4, and did I mention that there was no pfr? So really you're only worried about A6 and A4, and there's what, 8 possible combos? C'mon. You're going to get strong action from ANY ace, here, get more money in the pot.

I meant, AK came on flop, not that villain had AK, but I can see where it was confusing now that I think about it.

yeah, I agree, I should bet the flop. I've read a million times here don't slow play a set, sometimes I don't do what I know is right...just seemed like an opportunity with AK, to slow play and take advantage of the AK flop.

*grunch*

Bet the flop. Cap if necessary. Only AA beats you at this point and you would have heard about it preflop. Turn is good, I think I go farther with the river. A4 and A6 seem possible for villian, but so does 44 and any other A-rag.

I would bet that flop and keep pounding. It would be awful if it got checked through. Turn play is good. Not sure why CO slows down on the flop when everyone is trapped and then opens up again on the turn. He sure is acting like that king helped him but how? I would probably throw in one more bet on the river and call the raise.

Bet, raise, cap, scratch, bite, scream like a girlie who just lost her lunchbox with barbie stickers on it, just do anything to bet that flop. Even more so with the 2 flush looming. Do not risk giving a free card to the drawers out there.

Hey Boz,

What are your thoughts on a river checkraise? I don't think that balls to the wall is necessarily the best line here.

My first instinct was to bet-3bet if the 2nd stat was AGG, or bet-call if the 2nd stat was PFR. If we 3bet, a cap is going to be bad news more often than not. If we checkraise the river, we (virtually) guarantee at least 2 bets on the river, and can just call a 3bet.

I don't much like a capped turn and river with an underfull.

Bet the flop. River check-call is good, I'd checkraise if it didn't pair the Ace.
