Hero ???

check-fold unless you think he'll fold KQ or AK, which i doubt he will

Check-folds. We can't make him fold anything we beat after he calls both a flop c/r and a turn lead. The only thing we beat is another busted flushdraw which will check behind us.

I think I check-call turn.

Why check the turn? I'm repping a strong hand.

Action went check/check. Results in white.


Hero shows [ Ad, 8d ] high card ace.
MP3 doesn't show [ Tc, 8c ] high card king.

Where do you find these people, Warpe?!

Party Monster tables FTW!! Up three buy-ins this morning single tabling.

i bet more on the turn.
tbh, id push the river if i think he'd call off here with tp when i have a set as next time i play it like this i will have a set.

Not much point in making metagame plays on revolving door tables when the fish are schooling. He left 2 hands later.

I'm usually pulling the plug on representing when villain calls a flop c/r. He's got something that he doesn't want to fold.

I'm thinking villain is not likely to put us on a flush draw with this flop action, so if he has a set he's probably paying off big time if we river the flush. On the turn I think we have little fold equity but good implied odds if he bets, so I check/call. As an added bonus villain might check behind.

Thoughts?
