rollito 0 Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 looks ok to me....why bet the river.... at least the guy in last position showed he was ready to call at least one bet Link to post Share on other sites
tskillz187 0 Posted March 28, 2005 Author Share Posted March 28, 2005 I didn't bet the river i check/folded it when i missed my draws, would it still be correct to bet this hand out from early position without the gutshot draw though? Link to post Share on other sites

If you get raised you know the person at least has top pair, but more likely 2 pair or a set. So if the board pairs you can jump ship instead of drawing to a flush that isn't any good.I'll even raise sometimes with a draw to the nut flush, this sometimes gives you a free card if you miss on the turn and wish to check. Just be careful about better flush's out there, you're really better off hitting the straight. Link to post Share on other sites

wrto4556 0 Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Why does everyone think betting the turn is good?It's not for value, you have no fold equity. So why are we doing it? If you were in position, it would be alot easier, a turn raise sucks...especially in a pot this small, it's not worth getting over aggressive with.Check/call the turn. Check/fold the river.

tskillz187 0 Posted March 28, 2005 Author Share Posted March 28, 2005 hmmmm... some more replies to betting the turn would be nice, I didn't even think about it, I thought it was an obvious bet once I led out on flop. Link to post Share on other sites
