FLOP [board cards J icon_suit_heart.gif ,A icon_suit_club.gif ,4 icon_suit_club.gif ]
akishoreFCP bets $1, livinitup0 folds, ramlosa1 calls $1, Beavis23 folds, tonyla1 calls $1, KGB22x calls $1.

was it correct to bet out here? i just figured i had some a strong equity edge (50% to improve to two pair or better, right? assuming all my outs are clean, that's a massive edge. assuming only my jack outs are clean, i'm still around 40%. it would be catastrophic if my flush outs were dead against Kx or Qx of clubs, but i think i can still give myself maybe 6-8 partial outs). should i have check-called a bet from any position, or check-raised to protect my hand and clean up some outs (e.g. make J-x or A-3 fold, or a naked K or Q of clubs [higher flush redraw if i hit on the turn)?

(pot = $10)

TURN [board cards J icon_suit_heart.gif ,A icon_suit_club.gif ,4 icon_suit_club.gif ,8 icon_suit_spade.gif ]
akishoreFCP bets $2, ramlosa1 calls $2, tonyla1 calls $2, KGB22x bets $4, akishoreFCP calls $2, ramlosa1 calls $2, tonyla1 folds.

again, was it correct to bet out here, or should i have check-called (i don't think check-raising is correct anymore)? i think i've lost a good amount of equity, and my edge might not even be there anymore (especially if my jack and/or three outs are dead against aces up or a set, or if my flush outs were never clean against Kx or Qx of clubs). when it got raised behind me, this is a definite call, of course.

(pot = $14)

RIVER [board cards J icon_suit_heart.gif ,A icon_suit_club.gif ,4 icon_suit_club.gif ,8 icon_suit_spade.gif ,3 icon_suit_spade.gif ]
akishoreFCP checks, ramlosa1 checks, KGB22x bets $2, akishoreFCP calls $2, ramlosa1 folds.

i improved to two pair. should i be raising here?? i just figured that my two pair might not even be good against a slowplayed set or a turned aces up or something similar. in this case, i want overcalls, right (though they didn't happen)?

My thoughts:
Bet the flop, you have 2nd pair and a nice draw.
Bet the turn because it's a blank, but just call the raise
Just call the river


Hmm...it seems like I agree with how you played this hand completely smile.gif
