I think converter is broken unless you've got some Geri's Game style action going down.

Sorry, Button shoved overtop of my turn bet.

allaboutmyfetti · #4 09-10-2006, 03:04 PM

Ah ok, I usually fold here against an uknown (im assumign he pushed 11 on top of your 8)

delta k · #5 09-10-2006, 03:15 PM

should we consider a turn check here for pot control?

jeffraider · #6 09-10-2006, 03:27 PM

Should I possibly have bet less on the turn? I was pretty sure I was beat but I felt like they've got a worse hand enough to call the last $11.

If we check and he pots it at us what then?

Do you fold to a bet if you check the turn?

Dot_the_Bot · #9 09-10-2006, 03:43 PM

you're fine. why would you try to control the pot on the turn? the other guy only has $11 left and is more likely to put it in on the turn with a draw then on the river if he misses.

Its fine- call the two dollars and river a gutshot. :-)

I think that my PSB on the turn was definitely a mistake. It makes it real hard for worse hands to call, and also very hard for a cashdonk like me to fold getting whatever to one pot odds.

I don't know if I like checking the turn. It seems like it makes for a very tough river decsion for us on a lot of cards, added to the fact we're OOP.

How does everyone feel about a $5 bet on the turn, folding to a push? I feel like that bet gets value, protects our hand and lets us fold fairly confidently to further heat in the hand.
