Hero ???



He min bets the flop, to me that means either a weak ace or a draw. He calls a good sized checkraise on the turn and the river completes the club flush, bet or check?

You forgot to tell us what your cards are...do you have QT?

yeah, a little help?

Since your playing this hand "in the dark", I think a check is in order...

Yea, QT offsuit. I was down to 4 handed and playing a lot of pots when posting this, opps.

I'd definitely try to extract some value on the river. 2 pair, set, maybe just an ace will call.

Betting for value here looks good to me, and it has an added advantage of blocking a bigger bet from a weakish flush, or a bluff from a weak A that senses your concern that the flush hit if you check it.

What size bet?

I agree with the bet on the river and I'd probably make it $1,000.

Since you probably wont be called by anything except the flush it shouldnt be too sensitive to bet size. Id go with 800. Too much less begins could get bluffed at too easily.

The blocker bet on the river is a nice play in this spot. If the UTG player is the type that would be leading out with just two clubs, then I would have raised more on the turn. Your giving him 3.5-1 and most will call because of the implied odds.

You cant bet too much more. At 3.5:1 he's already overpaying for the draw, and we dont want to price him out totally...we want him to call. If you go to, say 1500 ("pot size raise"), 1200 to go for him, he's in for half of his stack if he calls, and will probably fold. If youre happy with the pot where it is then push.

Fair enough. If you "knew" he had Ac 8c what would you raise?

With 12 outs instead of 8 I would probably be more inclined to push him out now. I would want to make it clear hes priced out, which means 4.5:1 or worse, and betting that much I might as well push.
