    Default Max value line check

    Villain is unknown. I took quite a while to act on turn and river fwiw. Is this the best line?

    Converted at weaktight.com

    Stacks:
    UTG ($25.05)

    MP3 ($27.95)
    Hero ($24.85)
    BTN ($3.20)
    SB ($24.65)
    BB ($26.40)

    Pre-flop: ($0.35, 9 players) Hero is CO
    1 fold, UTG+1 calls $0.25, 3 folds, Hero raises to $1.25, 3 folds, UTG+1 calls $1

    Flop: ($2.85, 2 players)
    UTG+1 checks, Hero bets $2, UTG+1 calls $2

    UTG+1 checks, Hero checks

    River: ($6.85, 2 players)

    Bet the turn to get more value from 77. Whatever he called with on the flop he most likely isn't folding for a nice $4.50 bet on the turn (unless he has missed overs which people love to float). You're river bet might get called by a small/mid pair but you missed a lot of value here.

    I bet/bet/bet here, you won't get his stack unless you play it this way.

    Please explain not betting the turn

    I thought a turn bet folds out small/mid pairs a lot here (which I think is most of his range) and that checking looks like I have missed overs. Guess I am wrong? Anyone agree?

    Also, I honestly wasn't expecting to get villain's entire stack here. Maybe my thinking is off though.

    An unknown at 25nl calls three barrels with a small pair a lot. Plus you need value against worse threes.

    I'll occasionally check behind on the turn against someone that will call my c-bets with a large range and fold the turn to a second barrel. I'll do it if I think they have a weak hand that won't call a turn bet so they hopefully bluff the river or will call a river bet when a blank hits.

    I agree though that against an unkown, especially at $25NL, you should be betting all 3 streets for value almost all the time.
