take the free card on the turn?

is this how you guys play this flop? What about the turn? I can check behind and call a river bet, or I can lead and build a bigger pot if I hit my straight. Even if I miss, I still have good showdown value. What's your play?

I generally bet here, about 25 dollars.

BTW... why is Button acting first? Converter error or something? BTW, I bet turn because it gives opponent a chance to fold, and we can probably check behind on the river unimproved.

[bazookajoe]

yeah, he was SB, converter messed up.

Converter is a bit screwy but I am betting this turn (~$23-$28). I am checking behind on river to a non 8, and making a small v-bet if a Q hits river.

[bazookajoe]

ok thanks. I bet $23, he folded, standard I guess.
