er, think about the cr before you do it? and decide to lead instead?

don't like the flop pot here either, way more likely to fold worse than an ace, it focuses his range on hands better than yours.

his flop calling range on this board is wide

even so, it would be even wider if you bet less, and even if it isn't, it really makes a big difference in terms of stack awkwardness on the river, no matter how you play it.

the stacks are pretty perfect for a bet flop 2/3, bet turn 2/3, c/f river, or some variant line that gets two 2/3 bets in and leaves plenty of room to not commit.

[jc1418]

why are you checking the river to fold it?

I don't C-Bet here OOP, because you got a RIO flop. The c/r on the turn is even worse, because of RIO. Try to reach a cheap showdown, if that's not possible, get away from this hand whenever it's too expensive.

i think this should be a cbet every time most likely. turn c/r isnt very good though. probably just lead turn. we arent worried about getting away from it right now, we are trying to extract value

[Maulik]

RIO?

This line seems to be really good against players who play draws too aggressively

if you put him on a draw then c/c turn c/c a dry river right? c/r just risks too much - if he has a real hand you're toast.

i'm in the bet turn camp though most of the time.

[mdkrahn]

i think after the turn,

c/c river &gt;&gt; shove
