Looks pretty good. I would bet 450-475 on the turn though....

I disagree and think 300 is better. We dont want to bloat the pot here since we are still vulnerable to overcards and draws.

I'm not following you. So you're saying you only want to bet heavy when it's a dry board?? That's the time I'm more likely to offer my opponent better odds, not worse odds. And here, if we make a sufficient turn bet, then the river becomes much more automatic. If we bet 475, we're a lot less worried about overcards or draws.....villian would be putting in almost half of his stack. Plus we'd be offering him 2 to 1 to see the river card instead of 3 to 1....which is much better if he is on a draw or has overcards.

If we bet light now we are in that much more of a guessing game if we don't like the river card. Since we'll be out of position, I really don't want to be guessing if he hit or not.

Just preserve some chips if a trouble card hits and villain decides he likes it.

Listen Mr. Sensitive. I was just trying to understand your line of thinking better. In the future, I will refrain from challenging any of your poker beliefs. Obv you are always right and shouldn't be asked/bothered to explain anything.
