Should I C- bet here? And I am just commited on the turn?

[Monster207]

Is checking the flop ever ok here? And when that turn card hits should I just smooth call or raise it? I just really feel like i butchered this hand. Comments appreciated
Also there were no reads on Villian. This was second hand. The hand before I saw him minraise on the flop and the turn so i assumed right away that he was a poor player, thats it though.

Yeah these are the kinds of flops that are bad to cbet. They have loads of draws out there and are really likely to have hit SBs calling range some how. I would also raise the turn because I we beat loads here and there are loads of scare-cards that can come on the river. You have to call the push because you will be ahead here quite a lot anyway and when you are behind you have 10 outs to fill-up or hit quads on the river. The push is so small aswell.

IMO this is a pretty NH.

Bet flop. Just because he "could" have something here doesn't mean he does, he could easily have an ace rag or some crap. If he had a PP you just scared him out. If he's got a draw you charge him for it. If you get raised big you can bail.

yea i cbet this pretty much everytime, turn looks standard.

I agree, I see no reason not to c-bet. The only times I slow down on the flop are when multiple people call preflop. When it's heads up I'm always betting. It also makes the hand a lot easier to play, gives you a better idea of his range when he reacts to the c-bet.

As played you have to call his push on the turn.

I cbet this on the flop everytime. As played, getting all in on the turn is probably okay. I don't see a better way to play it.

Checking flop is OK.

Then what? You're saying a line where you check behind on the flop then get it all in with a card the completes every possible draw is a good line?

Edit: Okay maybe not every draw but this still kind of sucks a lot of draws just completed.

[Abramovic]

I didnt say anything about turn. Just said checking flop was ok.

Turn Im still not sure on lol.
