NL 10 KQ Line check

[apple11]

Read: This guy was on like 12 tables had not seen him get out of line since I had been playing with him. My big question is did I screw up the turn or was the check ok? I guess he could bluff the river but im pretty sure im beat 90% of the time

But turn on draw heavy board.

Ya bet lke $3 on turn, river is an easy fold

[SuperUberBob]

I bet the pot on the turn, possibly even shove since a flush draw is basically calling any turn bet at these limits.

River is an easy check/fold.

[takingcontrol]

As an aside, in these situations is it right to put in a blocking bet every time a board this draw heavy comes along. I think recently I've been wasting value from poorer hands by betting my flop too aggressively ie PSB's when heads up. thoughts ?

bet more on flop - bet turn - as played fold river

the only possible hand that villian has us beat on the turn with is 78s

you can't just let him get a free card at this point, i like real big bet here of at least the pot

I agree you have to bet the turn but a full pot bet is not necessary. Your goal is not to make draws fold, it is to make them call getting incorrect odds. I would make a bet more in the range of 2/3 to 3/4 pot.

Also since you said he is playing like 12 tables I would put him on a pretty tight range and say chances are he doesn't have a straight draw.
