Pre-Flop: J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] dealt to Hero (MP)
UTG folds, <font color="red">Hero raises to $0.40</font>, CO folds, BTN calls $0.40, 2 folds

<font color="blue">Standard pre-flop raise.</font>

Hero checks, BTN checks

<font color="blue">Kind of an awkward flop to c-bet... although, I really doubt a donk is thinking "Oh, a paired board. It's less likely he hit." Anyway, I check and am probably check-raising if villain bets.</font>

Turn: ($0.95) A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 Players)
<font color="red">Hero bets $0.70</font>, <font color="red">BTN raises to $1.40</font>, Hero ??

<font color="blue">Ace hits. A good card to bet out on. ... And a minraise. Villain hasn't been playing too aggresively here, but do I give him credit for slowplaying trip Tens or hitting his Ace?</font>


Do I always bet this flop?

bet flop, you most likely have the best hand and hes never folding a pair or A high

as played fold to minraise...an ace isnt a good card to bet on when you have (had) a good pp

I can't understand why you don't bet the flop. This guy plays 70% of hands, he calls you here with trash. You HAVE to get value from him.

As played it looks like he has hit the ace. I probably fold.

Please bet flop.. It is not at all an akward flop to bet (not sure where you're getting that from.) And an ace is not a good card to bet, when you already have had a better chance.

Maybe it's just my experience, but it seems like people tend to give you less credit for a made hand when you c-bet into a paired board. But this is probably some irrational assumption I've formed due to getting check-raised or c-bets raised a lot on these types of boards.

bet flop

not betting the flop is terrible and its not awkward at all, then u turn ur hand into a bluff my betting the turn, it doesnt matter which one of those u give him credit for, both have u crushed

[svidrigailov]

Def bet flop. Also, I'd prefer 2-barrelling the turn with KQ or similar. In this case you're bluffing with a hand that might have showdown value. Given that the flop was checked, I'd check the turn. (But always bet flop.)
