Default Re: 2/4 Bluff the turn?

i'd check. if i raised the flop it'd be because I thought he had a draw a high % of the time and would call or fold to a raise. on turn one draw hit and another (axs) hit top pair and wont fold. I'd check and hope to check it down

best card to bet; IMO he can only call here with QT or Axcc. Bet $125. If he flatcalls, shut down on riv unless river is nonclub 9.

check, not to completely give up though. betting is a mistake. you can fold him off king crappy kicker on the river and Axss will bet that river so you save money against that hand, because that's never folding to a turn bet, and save money against QT. The only downside is 9t sees the river, but thats a slim downside. Also, a worst hand is never calling a turn bet so you aren't missing any value with this line either.

In short, any hands you fold now, you fold on nearly all river cards plus you save $ against ones that would call.

I tend to disagree that anyone if folding a hand like QK on a blank river if you check back this turn

Very good points, but do you not think betting here looks way stronger than betting river? As above poster mentioned, KQ may call riv but fold to a bet here.

this lead is almost never KQ. Right now it's mostly a dumb king. Usually it's air/silly pp feeler bet/dumb king/draw. That's why i think you can do it.

Ok, I saw this hand completely differently than everyone it seems. I made the flop raise and immediately regretted it and expected him to push over the top with a draw or made hand, and I can't call that. This is pretty lame, but after the hand I was convinced that folding the flop is best. I don't find that TAGs lead weak pairs too often; it's usually a draw or a big hand. I could be wrong though.

may be a small factor, but I'd make it more like $80 with the flop raise. I think psychologically $70 looks more like "you donk, i raise with ATC" whereas $80 does not. I guess $70 would be a good raise size then with a strong hand, but to keep with my overall gameplan, I like to keep my raise-the-flop-donk sizes consistent.
