Default K high - calldown

villain is unkown

I think a pair checks the turn to see a SD cheaply, so i put him on a draw. Bad idea?

Which rivers do i call?

Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is CO with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
UTG folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises</font>, 2 folds, BB calls.

Thats what I tell myself when I call down a brick.

This is a good bluff card tho. But I would only raise if I was fairly sure that villain could fold 6x or 3x or something

You would probably be better off raising the turn than calling. As played, I would fold the turn. Whether or not BB has a draw or a pair doesn't matter as far as his turn play is concerned. It's rare to see a player c/r the flop and then check the turn.

I would probably raise if I had an A here so I would bluff raise here as well. It's difficult to know how often this bluff will work at 1/2 because people will just call down (which is good for when you have an A) a lot. Having a good image would help here, but you still have your overcards if he calls.

Against an unknown villian at 1/2 I drop it like its hot. I'd have to have a read before I tried anything tricky.

I thought about raising, but i donīt know if i have enough FE against an unkown to do so on this limit - I told myself not trying to make unkowns fold a pair, so i stick with it.

I feel pretty good about mucking this vs. an unknown; nobody b/f's anymore. I'd only call vs. somebody I think is decent because it's a pretty dumb board to 3barrell.

do decent players bet this turn without a pair or monster draw?

i don't. everybody raises this card against me and they usually accidentally have the perfect mix of bluffs:made hands. when i have a monster draw i b/3b and a pair i b/c but normal draws i either c/c or c/f.
