Default Re: Check or bet ?

I don't understand the turn raise. Why not just call? If he's bluffing, let him keep firing away. There aren't a lot of cards that will hurt you on the river in this small pot. I would just call down when he bets and bet if he checks. IMHO, you win the most if he's bluffing and lose the least if you're behind.

I raise preflop and if i didnt Id bet the flop

i like the turn raise, people get annoyed in blind battles and he ll call down enuff with a 9 or 8 for it to be good, or u could charge a draw/semibluff he mite give up on on the river if he doesnt improve. as played vb the river. Hed likely raise most Ks and better Qs preflop here and any 2pair hand mite give u more action on the turn (unless they feared a slowplay from u? but since u didnt raise preflop its less likely they'd think ur doing that). I think you got the nuts.

Raise PF, bet the flop. As played easy river value bet, although I might not raise the turn.

Rethink. Turn raise was overaggro and skews the river. Villain may be checking a better hand on the river because of turn raise, so to correct for that play check the river though.

You are absolutely right in this case.
Good thinking.
