Set on wet board, check behind on turn?

[tyrn]

Only 6 hands on the villain, he saw the flop on 4 of them.

Hows my turn and river? by checking turn I'm letting the backdoor flush or straight get a free card, but considering he donk-flatted maybe he's already there, and preventing the pot from bloating would be better. I think a bet on the turn makes hands I beat like top pair consider folding on this scary board, while checking behind may induce a bet from these hands or missed draws when river bricks. Then again, a top pair hand with a club pays to see another card here so I'm losing value if he has that.

With such a wet board, I think you may need to bet the turn to protect your hand.

A PSB on turn commits me on the river.

[AFchung]

protect your stack > protecting your hand

True. It's a tough call without a strong read-- the problem is there's at least 3 plausible scenarios-- (1) Villain made his hand on the turn and has you beat unless the board pairs, (2) Villain is drawing to beat you on the river, or (3) Villain has a bettable second-best hand and cannot catch up to you.

I tend to lean towards protecting your hand because even if the worst-case scenario (1) is true, you probably have 10 outs even then.

For the flop I would personally raise more.

[bigspenda73]

flop should be like $1.25-$1.50

[kmind]

Yeah you need to raise the flop. Don't even pretend you raised the flop. I hope you understand why. Basically, in lay-man's terms, wet = bet large
