What's your play here?

First, I don't like my check on the turn at all. Anyone holding a decent heart got a free card, but when the BB bet out on the river I thought I could be up against any ten or seven making a full house or a made flush. When the CO called I felt almost certain one of them had that.

Meh, I dont' have experience at this site, nor this size level, so I dunno, but he called 2 cold on the flop, IE he has the 7 or flush.

flush got there, and you have no boat.

fold.

Bet the turn first off.

If you are raised on the turn call down.

If you aren't raised on the turn and it goes check to the river, I'd bet/call.

do u fear a c/r on the turn?

If so, bet and fold to a c/r, it's trips..or flush if BB does it.

Don't let a weak 10 and a Flush Draw see the river for free, make them pay.

I really don't know what I was thinking on the turn...I was afraid someone either had the 7 or hit the flush I suppose and I tried to "save" a bet there. Awfully weak tight I think

I folded.....

Should find this interesting:


BB: shows [6s As] (two pair, Tens and Sevens)
SB: shows [9c 9h] (two pair, Tens and Nines)
SB collected $4.50 from pot

yeah, if you bet the turn, I'm guessing they don't lead the river with those hands.

I'd fold the river as it played as well.

good lesson. :-)

this is why you should be betting the turn and re-evaluate if raised. but you played it so passively what can you expect but to trick yourself into being beat.

I did and I wasn't even there. Granted this is .25/.50 ...you still need to be aggressive with your big pairs.
