5NL HUSNG paired board

[TNixon]

You know what, though...

I also bet a ten here (and yes, I realize that if you combine it all, that means I almost always bet a paired flop, which is actually pretty close to the truth), for all the same reasons that I bet a 9. So depending on the type of opponent I'm playing, I'm either getting plenty of value when I flop trips, or I'm getting away with a lot of buys when the flop pairs.

I dunno. Most days I'm pretty sure that pot control is one of the major reasons that my winrate hangs around 56-57 instead of going higher, but every time I flop top pair, and get 2/3 pot calls on all three streets from bottom pair, an underpair, or ace high no draw, it seems practically impossible to not bet.

lol our hand is way ahead of a random hand. Bet. I prefer to bet more like 2/3 but if you like to pot it that's your choice. I also like to bet ~2/3 on the turn if I get called. I would probably check/fold river to a reasonable bet but I'm not sure. Not sure my turn and river play are the best but leading the flop is almost certainly correct without some kind of strong read (your opponent is a maniac that bets 100% of flops except when he flops huge).

fair points tnixon. if they call with a really wide range then betting the flop is good (i did say that i think). It does make a difference that we limped pf of course, which should make us more inclined to bet (opponent has a wider range)

a river bet is definitely too thin though



il add a disclaimer though - i never said betting was bad, but that checking might be better.
