Default What are we doing here?

You open with Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] on the button. SB and BB both call. They seem like decent players, probably 30/20's who play pretty good after the flop.

Flop is K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. It's checked to you...do we bet 100% of the time here?

Okay, we bet, SB folds, BB check/raises. Are we ditching here? Seeing a turn? Calling down if a heart doesn't fall?

I'd bet here 100% and I'm seeing a showdown pretty close to 100%. In general I think a 30/20 who plays well postflop will checkraise this flop with air, OESDs, gutshots, heart draws, Kings, and Tens, all with a reasonable frequency. I wouldn't plan on ditching unless the board got really really ugly.

What are your showdown plans from the flop c/r? Does anyone ever 3bet this here?

I pretty always take this to showdown too, especially since i raised from the button.

Is he capable of checking the turn after semibluffing the flop and getting called?

I also think if he's semibluffing the flop he's definitely following thru on the turn to make sure he gets a fold from us the times we have a gutshot.

I am cautiously optimistic here especially since sb cold called. That all but eliminates his Ace high and pocket pair hands in my mind. I would check the flop here with the intention of spending one and only one bet on each big street.

i think checking the flop here is terrible, my default play in this situation is to either three bet the flop, and bet a non scary turn card, probably fold to any other action, or calling a check raise, and raising the turn and checking behind on basically all rivers.

i think he is just plan bluffing, semi bluffing, or being stupid with a smallish PP, we really need to charge those semi bluffs the max

I just bet and take it to SD once he pops it. I probably check my email in the meantime.
