Story of a mid-pair

[BigTurkey]

Providing we can fold to a raise, what about donking the turn to make sure it doesn't get checked through?

FWIW I don't mind checking the flop. It would be totally sweet if a LP player bet and we could raise his ass. With this many players I don't think the flop is getting checked through very often and if we bet everybody is going to call getting such ridiculous odds.

But you can see here that 2 people did indeed fold to a single bet. Maybe it won't get checked through but why take that chance? You're going to call here you might as well be the aggressor and bet.

I bet the flop & bet the turn. If you are raised on either, call and fold unimproved on the next street.

:grunch:
In a table like that, I would have just called with 99 on utg.
Flop should be bet as you have overpair.. As should the turn. River fold looks fine to me.

Thanks for the info guys.
Next time I will:

Bet the flop: Even though they're getting terrfic odds, it's better than a freeroll as indeed two players did fold.

Lead the turn: If I led and was re-raised the button would be forced to call two cold with overcards.

Check/call the river if dangerous: If the three flush hits or an A,K i've propably been outdrawn.

Cheers,
Li.

I would raise on the flop, the pf raiser wont always raise with a pp, he could have high pair or overcards.

I would raise then reraise if need be, maybe saving yourself some bets later.

I cant understand checking the flop, you give someone with overcards a free card.
