Can I bet the turn?

Can I bet the river? Is anything going to call that we beat?

I think we can bet/fold turn.A free river isn't helping us at all.

He seems to have KJ to me.

As played i am betting river. He may try to catch a bluff with KJ or KQ.

I like a raise preflop

With 3 others already in?

For real?

for realz G.

those are some weak hand / players, limping in with two posters there.
You surely have an equity edge those 3 hands, i.e., you should win at least 25% of the time
Buying the button is sweet
Folding blinds is cool. And not bad if Button and or Blinds call, your hand plays well multiway.
Maybe you get a free card on the flop, too.

hmm. I like it.

river is a bet...i would think he has a Qx hand a lot here any maybe a Qxs type hand here with the open ender and the flush draw...with the turn and river checks by him i cant see him possibly havin an ace or a boat

On preflop:

I will raise any two cards when I'm posting, if it's folded to me.

Here, we might as well raise for value, as we are getting basically 2:1 per person who calls. We are putting in one bet, for two bets put in by each other player. Goot odds.

we're getting 1/0 per person by not raising though. Even better odds.

I suck at my point.

i was thinking the same thing. there are two posters and nobody raised. thats just weak. while you're not ahead you're probably not a serious dog and im sure there is a fraction or two of a bet that can be squezed out here.

two posters and im raising all sorts of crap from anywhere because its almost always profitible.

I never thought about it like this before.

I would always tighten right up when there were 2+ limpers posters.

As if it took me this long to realize this.

posters not limpers

i think i misread your hand a little (i can be a bit hasty) but what i said still applies (just not here)

stealing posts is very profitable.

if there were two posters in a pot i would probobaly hit raise without looking at my cards. almost. i might look at one. if it was a 2 i might reconsider. but ide still probably raise anyway.

----------------

however with limpers.... two limpers and you should actually loosen up. like a whole lot. like any pair, any two suited connected cards 65 and over etc....

I gotta stop drinking. I meant posters.

I'm a big fan of raising here. I used to limp my posts also, but I've seen the power of raising them.

The turn is kinda scary, any idiot with an A has us now. I think I lead the river and get ready to call and kick the cat when he raises and turns the Ax.

The best part about raising your post, is most players don't get that your range should be enormous, and will usually give you credit for a strong hand. The rest usually just aren't paying attention and probably didn't even see your post.
