33$ HU sng: MPtk meets with a lot of draws

[Gesangsverein]

Good fold (considering all those draws which hit on the river)?
Doesn`t look like he had a jack though (imho).
What do you think about my line ?

I used to bet this kind of flop a lot, but I find that you get in a lot of poor spots. I don't mind checking behind and playing a small pot. Against an observant opponent this could backfire, but, its not terrible either way.

As played, I would check behind on the turn. You're just going to inflate the pot and be put in a tough spot on the river.

If you check on the turn, he's going to fire with missed draws on the river usually. If you bet on the turn, he's going to call with a lot of his draws (given that you bet 1/3 pot) and then you're in a [censored] spot if he bets into you on the river. I think checking &gt; betting this turn, regardless of how much you bet. Anyone disagree?

River I fold.

Why would he have a jack here?

[jay_shark]

I don't mind betting the flop but I also don't mind checking the turn for the reasons Nicho has mentioned .

I think that you should either check the flop or bet more. As played we don't really get any idea as to how strong the villain's hand is.

i like it.

it's a drawy flop, no draw came on the turn. a jack will raise for protection on the flop 99% of the time. so either he has a monster on the flop or a draw, with this being a draw a huge % of the time (sometimes this is middle or bottom pair as well). but i'd bet more on the two streets. about 2/3rd pot.

on the river it's a fold.
