I'm guess my line was pretty bad... I was looking to c/r flop - turn killed action... river just a value bet I guess... hopeing villain would look it up w/any diamond or other [censored]... what is a better line....???

[FoolyCooly]

I lead half the pot on the flop....perhaps inducing a call from a worse draw. Check turn if called on flop, and value bet river if you can't c/r the turn.

I don't like the plan of c/r. A free card on this board really sucks and it's a pretty scare flop for someone to take a shot at.

I pot it on the flop. I also bet the turn. There aren't that many cards that could come that will get a call on the river that won't call on the turn.

[shakyamuni]

Yeah my logic was pretty flawed on this hand. I guess just the result of not getting paid off on anything early-game lately... I'm done with that kind of thinking,,, thanks for the notes...
