checkraise, of course

[wheelz]

6 handed

utg raises, co calls, i 3-bet with 8s8h, blinds fold, they call

flop 5h7d9d
villain bets, co folds, i raise, villain calls

turn Td
villain checks, i bet, villain raises, i call and fold river ui?

and should i bet the turn in the first place?

Once he takes the initiative on the flop and CO drops out, I would be inclined to let him keep it. If he is behind with Ace high for instance and doesn't pass you on the turn or river, then just calling down and betting when checked to will probably win you one fewer small bet than raising the flop and betting the turn and river. That seems like a worthwile sacrifice to see to it that you don't get yourself into a position where you have to either make an expensive calldown or fold what may be the best hand. If you knew you could trust him, neither would be as much of a concern. But there are very few opponents that I know I can trust.

[wheelz]

yeah that should've been another question.

i usually do call a lot in this situation, perhaps i shouldn't stop doing that

I'm with Cartman. Once it's HU, I don't see any reason to take away his lead.
