Was the flop and turn played like a donkey?

boooooooo.

The flop is fine, but I would check the turn since we don't have any value or fold equity in betting.

check/call the turn. You have nothing to gain by betting. If he checks behind, you get a free card which is even better.

Yeah, I agree with you all.... I'm an idiot.

I actually hate the flop more than the turn.

A flop C/C has +0.02BB EV. Having to call a raise is significantly negative. With the chance of being raised veres the chances of him folding, I think betting out has a negative EV.

On the turn, C/C and B/C both have +EV, but the B/C is giving up or EV than any possible fold equity will ever make back (and I agree I next to no fold equity).

I'm an idiot.... anyone want to come play with the fish? lol...

If the villian is really weak (folding the flop with 88, 99, etc), then betting the flop isn't bad. But if you know you aren't getting rid of him, check the flop.

Definitely check the turn.

You have to fire a continuation bet at this heads up on the flop.

Not to mention the 10 outs we probably have, plus our backdoor flush draw.

Check the turn.
