Bet the flop, most of the time youll miss a bet, and/or let him catch up.Play your hands straightforward in limit.

but if i bet the flop, I don't think I'd be able to re-raise the turn.betting flop = profit of 1/2 bb, checking flop, raising turn = profit of 1bb, isn't it worth it on a pretty safe board?

People who check the flop here should be prohibited from using the word optimal.

You don't know that he's going to be betting the turn. Most of the time you are just missing a bet.- Zach

Betting the flop is an absolute must.

Are you suggesting to bet when you miss your hand and always set up the turn raise when you hit? this is a very transparent strategy that will be exploited rather easily.

Bet the flop. He might come after you with a medium pair. The turn could put another overcard to his 66-TT hands, and you'll lose him completely. He might have nothing, and just check fold the turn. If he has KJ or KT or even KQ, you're only costing yourself money.Apart from immediate concerns, you need to be betting flops like this so you can cheaply take away pots when you miss. If you're going to semibluff fire with overcards, it's better to be doing it getting better bluffing odds on the small street. So, in summary:1) Bet the flop for value2) Bet the flop for future value3) Bet the flop, cockmonger! BET!Cheers,Wang

I usually bet these flops but I felt I should change it up once in awhile (or am I thinking too much about tournament strategy). Still no?
