Nixed 0 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 First post of any substance, posted fresh to a table didn't recognize anyone at the table, hadn't even loaded poker tracker yet. Table was running at high fiftys, low sixty percent players/flop according to the lobby. FTR converter on zerodivide.cxPreflop: Hero is MP3 with [Ks], [3s]. Hero posts a blind of $0.10. 1 fold, UTG+1 folds, Hero calls, SB calls.Alright, so suited king in positions against the blinds after posting, that's a pretty standard call right?Flop: (7 SB) [2h], [5s], [4c] (3 players)SB checks, BB bets, SB calls, BB calls.BB bets after having taken the lead preflop was more likely a continuation bet, I figured a raise here could either knock out the SB, maybe giving me some kings out, or by my OESD backdoor flush draw a free card. Turn: (6.50 BB) [4s] (3 players)SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets, SB calls, BB calls.Turn pairs the board, but brings me a bunch of outs if no one filled up. Free card play worked here, figured that ment that the straight and flush draws were still good. 15 outs and possibly a little more for an over.. chance to take down the pot is the bet good here?River: (9.50 BB) [Qs] (3 players)SB checks, BB bets, SB folds, BB calls. Final Pot: 13.50 BBCatch the second flush on the river. Raise with the intent to call ok here? or should I have just called the bet.Look ok? Thanks in advance Link to post Share on other sites

Pancake407 0 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 I usually check the turn when the freecard play works out like it did. Is that the wrong way to play it, should I be betting my flush draw in that spot? If so, howcome? With 2 players still in the pot, and one who called 2 cold, do we really have any fold equity? Anyway, I guess im just asking if we are better checking behind on the turn, or betting like the op did. Thoughts? Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway, I guess im just asking if we are better checking behind on the turn, or betting like the op did. Thoughts?Since I liked the way OP played it, I obviously think that betting this turn is better.This is because the pf raiser likely has overcards. If we can get him to fold this turn, we may get the flop HU vs sb who may be on a draw himself. This could allow us to take down the pot with king high.Even if both players call it's alright. We have 15 outs to a straight or better, putting us at just over 2:1 to win. If even one of our king outs is good, our bet has value. With our bet being so close to break even value, it is much better to bet than to check. If we check, our hand will become transparent and we may not get paid off if we hit the river. However, by playing our hand in this deceptive manner, if the river happens to give us a flush while pairing bb, we may get an extra river bet because he will not suspect the flush.
