AQ TPTK line check

[ManicLombax]

Bet small on the flop with the dry board. Do I need to bet more on the turn with the flush draw or not worry too much about a back door draw? Trying to size bets so I can get all in on the river, but maybe I should just shove the turn in case he's on a draw. If the river is a brick I'm not going to get any more money out of him. As played should I think about checking the river hoping to induce a bluff? I can't think of what hands he has here that he'd call with except KQ, QJ (and of course 33, 44, 55). Possibly JJ, TT I guess but you'd think he wouldn't have called the turn with those.

Looks fine; he's going to check back almost all the time on the river so shoving is easily best.

bet a lil more on flop/turn and he has to call river shove.

I just make it 350 on the flop and get the rest in on the turn.

Yeah I was thinking that might have been better afterwards. If he's on some kind of draw he's probably not going to give me any more chips on the river. Then again the board is pretty dry on the flop so I might just make him fold with a bigger bet.

Remember that there are two opps seeing the flop so you've got a better chance that a bigger bet will be called. If they'll call 240 they'll call 350 and the bigger bet sets you up to get all your chips in on the turn.

Good point, totally forgot there were three in the pot at that point.

c/r or c/c on flop seem better to me, he's going to bet worse Qs, he might bluff and if he's calling it off with a PP surely he would bet that as well.

[ManicLombax]

Yeah I agree with 3 in the pot c/r c/c might have been better, hopefully one of them has something or will stab at it. Would you still check with only one opp on the flop or bet for value?

[drmcboy]

i pretty much never lead the flop OOP if I did not raise pre, certainly not with TP on a dry board. If he doesn't have Qx you aren't going to get three streets anyway and you take the bluff away.
