I have just been copy and pasting from PStars, but if there is a better method please let me know so I can do this correctly. Anywho, you can see where we are at in this $4.40, and I recently got switched to this table. I made my raise preflop and hit a nice flush draw on the flop. I led out for 1/2 the pot with two players behind (was this an okay bet) and got 1 caller. Do I continue to bet on the turn or does the resistance on the flop bet slow me down? Thanks for any insight anyone can provide. I tried putting the results in white also because I think that's what I read to do once.

Hand Converters can be found here, please use them. http://www.fullcontactpoker.com/poker-foru...showtopic=87906As for the hand, if you have enough feel for the player that he will fold to more aggression then a bet is fine in either spot, you probably have 8 or 9 outs to the flush and six outs with the over cards. The safe play that you made is perfectly acceptable

yea id take another stab on the turn queen really isnt a scare card. if i get called there i probably shut down on the river.

I think w/ a flop bet that small i'm definitely gonna fire the turn as well. more likely i'd bet 475 at the flop, it's a good spot to get money in for us imo.

I think you played the hand just fine... the queen hits his possible range?

[herly33 1]

you didnt bet turn and I wouldnt either, so u played it like a champ

[babyelephant 0]

i probably would bet the flop harder maybe 400-500

Thanks for all the responses. In hindsight I wish I had bet a little more on the flop and maybe bet the turn. I figured him for some pocket pair, hence the call on the flop. The plan for villain may have been to see how things played out on the turn. I suppose betting the Q could have taken it down if he did have a small PP. Anywho, he showed 10J offsuit and I won the pot as was, so it worked out this way. I'm just always trying to learn.

i would probably lead the turn also

[GUGA KUERTEN 0]

yeah I bet the turn

[TrueAce13 18]

Yeah I'm definitely leading that turn as well

The villain only has 1600 behind so any bet on the turn makes us pot committed. We do have some fold equity on the turn but I think if we bet we're going to find ourselves being priced into calling a shove pretty often. I think I'd rather try and draw for free than bet the turn.

This. I don't mind the small bet on the flop. nh sir.

this. you cant ever over estimate someone being pot committed in a 4.40... the moment they put any chips in, you gotta expect them to go all the way, my reasoning for checking the turn. I think i could still call a smallish bet on the turn if villain bets here though. Obviously villain thought his J10 was good here?
