Should I be raising the flop? Betting or checking the turn?

Never raise this flop. Never.

I don't think the turn bet is that bad. If we can get CO to fold we will likely win the hand UI.

why bet turn?
To make FD's pay to see river?

I call flop
I check turn
I call river, but don't over call.

I now read replies...

oh, just Screech, meh

actually, aside from raising that flop for a free card sometimes, i always bet that turn if they check it to me there. SB most likely had a flush draw and our hand might very well be good. the river is a standard check.

So we don't have enuf equity to c/r an oesd on the flop 3-handed but we should bet the turn here?

our bet isn't for value.

SB betting the flop then checking a brick turn usually means a flush draw (i KNOW for a fact you did that ALL the time in hands you posted when you first began posting here).

with CO showing no strength yet, it is a reasonable assumption that a fair amount of time, SB has a flush draw and CO was just peeling with some weak draw and will fold to a turn bet.

so, since the pot is somewhat big right now, we bet this turn in hopes of making CO fold the best hand and getting it heads-up with a worse hand.

this turn bet is a lot easier and more effective if we had raised the flop. but then, our purpose was for a free card, so it becomes tougher. all these decisions are pretty close.

Did what?
Lead out with Flush Draws?

just curious.

bet the flop OOP, then check a missed turn.
