Default wait for turn, or charge the draw now?

Standard? I usually mix up 3betting the flop and raising the turn. Am I hurting myself by not 'charging' the draws though?

I usually reserve this play for flops that are dry ---&gt; opponent much more likely to have a vulnerable 1 pr or air hand.

On this board, too many turns either freeze him up or freeze you up

I like to 3 bet here if you've been messing around with him a lot. If you have been playing pretty weak I like waiting for the turn. The better he is the more I like to 3 bet the flop.
I think good players can get away from a 2 or 4 if you raise the turn here a lot.
You definetely need to mix it up depending on opps image of you

Why let the turn freeze you up. Can't assume he has flush here all the time. What do you think about a raise on the turn with a fold to a 3 bet?? Just curious?

I don't like plays that involve folding top pair 2nd best kicker. Too risky that he'd threebet a flush draw or a weaker K... plus if he has 2 pair I give up my shot at 3-9 outs.

I don't really see a problem here with raise/folding *this* turn against a predictable opponent. About the only realistic hand here that is 3betting for value is K9, with K4s and K2s also possible depending on how loose he is. So you're not really giving up very much equity at all when you have to fold to the 3bet, and you certainly gain more from all the worse Kx calldowns you get.

That said, I like how you played this hand. Flush draws are a large part of the BBs flop check/raise range, so it makes sense to wait to see how your equity changes on the turn.

I think 3betting the flop is a fine line, and certainly should be used some of the time for variation. But your hand really isn't strong enough that you want to fast play it, and you're not in any better situation if you 3bet the flop and the turn comes the 9d. Now you bet the turn and you're usually crushed when he check/raises but you convince yourself to call down.

By the way, the idea of charging the draw is nonsense. All that matters is your equity versus your opponents' hand range and how it will change on future streets. It's irrelevant who has a made hand and who has a draw. (Besides your opponent doesn't always have a draw; his range is wider than that.) BTW, if your opponent has a hand like Ad 4d, then you're not "charging a draw" -- you're simply building a bigger pot in a coinflip situation where you are the one with reverse implied odds.

I like SweetJazz's post. I think this is a great spot to mix things up becuz both strategies (3bet flop &amp; call flop-raise turn) run close in expectation.

I would also just call the turn in your current situation.

thanks for the imput, I felt I played it optimally (which the varying frequence plan).

villian had A3 diamonds. sweetjazz I like your way of thinking, but I have a sinking suspeicion that some good LagTags think differently.

No good player will think diffently from sweetjazz's approach becuz a simple pokerstove analysis shows that we dont have the equity on the turn to consider raise/folding.

I was expressing my dislike of raise/fold the turn here... I can't tell if you agree or disagree, kind of confused.
