2 b/f turn spots. Line checks.

Results 1 to 7 of 7
  1. #1

    Default 2 b/f turn spots. Line checks.

    1. Villain is 58/20 over 15 and certainly a fish. Think I can value bet turn vs worse pairs and draws. Standard?

    2. Villain is 20/10 over 20 hands or so. No reads, havem't seen him do anything.

    I'd bet the turn bigger in hand 1 - you're still getting called by 5x and draws, and I'd be snap folding to the minraise.

    Hand 2 I'd play the same, apart from betting slightly bigger on the flop.

    Yeah, agree my sizing is a bit off in both these spots.

    h1 might be more value checking turn and calling a river bet these guys will make ridic floats and stuff or once river peels off he may just bet out a 5 but fold it to a turn barrel.

    Are you tipping your hand strength too often via bet sizing?

    I usually size my bets based on the board texture.

    Vs a fish like the guy in hand 1, I tend not to worry too much about balancing my sizing, vs a reg I'd be much more wary of this.
