$10 NL Big Turn Draw

    Default $10 NL Big Turn Draw

    Table is five handed and playing fairly tight. Button is a very tight player. I have not played much with the big blind, my only read is that he floated me once and another player once on the flop, which explains his 87 BB stack .

    Is this a good flop to c-bet with my draw? How about c-bet size? Normally I would make it about a dollar, but I wanted to keep the pot smaller in this spot. I put the flop caller on a wide range, so I thought it was a good spot to double barrell, especially considering I picked up three extra outs. Do you bet turn? How much?

    ive not much time to provide detailed post but my thoughts;

    1 - pfr is loose play and need reads on btn and blinds to be happy raising
    2 - post flop is fine.
    Jman: every time the action is to you, it's an opportunity for you to make the perfect play.

    What goat said, plus this is a fine place to cbet - you have the only draw that matters.

    continuation betting is fine in this spot. We get to fold out a lot of hands that we have around 50% equity against but no implied odds plus we potentially build a bigger pot for the times we connect with our flush draw. There is also the possibility he has a worse flush draw and we're value-towning him.

    On the turn we have to ask ourselves a few things. Firstly, is he aggressive or weird enough to c/c the flop and c/bomb the turn. If we think he'll do this with a large frequency on the turn checking behind becomes better. However, if we feel he'll fold a lot of the range we now have about 25% equity against it's a good spot to barrel but I'd make it slightly bigger, like $2 which could potentially give us an easier river shove.

    I think that as this hand was played there is a very good chance you are ahead, villian may be on a worse flush draw or something like QJ/QT, I would fire a bet of about 2/3 pot and take it from there

    i wudnt worry much about getting cr'd in general here. my only worry is just how stationy he could that checking back turn is better, since it has no FE but also since he will pay me off lads when i hit.

    btw i wudnt 3 barrel if i miss

    YOU NEED TO WATCH HOW MUCH YOU RAISE BEFORE THE FLOP

    If we always raise hand like this one from here, we will run up our table image and our stats. Then villains will 3 bet us when we steal from the proper places with these hands the button and the cutoff spot. I think it will lose our respect over time here.
