I kinda went with a free-card play, but ended up betting the turn. With a big draw like this, is it better to try and get as much money as possible in like I did, or should I have taken the free-card I set myself up for?

EDIT: No reads. This is my 3rd hand at the table.

i like it...you might take the pot right here, and you keep the lead in the hand to possibly set yourself up for a bluff on the river when checked to...once you miss and he bets there is nothing you can do

[Moneyball16]

Id play it the same. We have some fold equity on the turn and a huge draw so that even if he calls its not the end of the world.

Very standard.

Well played.

Here's a question though; if he checks the river to you, do you bluff it again? Or check and hope K high is good?

[Actuary]

he lead flop into a pf raiser

You all think he fold the turn enough to fade a c/r

Im' in the camp that you should take more free cards when you have more outs and less fold equity, generally

I dont hate a bet, just dont want to make love to it either.

[Zach6668]

Depends on reads, obv.

Lots of players will donk/call, check/fold.

Usually a weak pair, weak draw, etc. The donk is typically not a strong hand from most players.

I'd check and pray. I've found out the hard way that bluffing on the river is a terrible idea at micro stake tables.

I've got a fun little exercise for you guys.

Assume we have 18 outs (Call it 9 clubs, 6 more straight outs, and 3 Kings, even though that's obviously the top end). Assume we never get check/raised. Disregard implied odds and river action. The hand ends on the turn.


How often does our bluff have to succeed to be completely breakeven?

Show all your math. (I'm going to make this into a new thread, I think)
