We flopped top pair on a board that is very connected. In raising we get calls from his FDs and even his gutshot + pair draws which he has quite a few of. On the turn it's a bit iffy because although we picked up an oesd a few hands just got there. I was thinking that we can also just call w/ the hope of hitting because the price is so good but the prevalence of AK in his range means the reverse implieds are big.

Hi legand73

Preflop: looks fine

Postflop: while i like your flop raise I think the turn should be a check back. Your value is super limited and even hands like AK/AQ got there (and he has plenty of those in his range... not to mention 9x...

What exactly were you hoping he calls with there? Some random flush draw?

Flushdraws plus some KT/ weak Jx (like J7 or so) hands that he may have raised pre w/.

Are we gonna check back turn hoping to get to showdown and then fold to any bet?

Hi Bogdan,

Do you check back if the Turn is K :club:?

Interesting hand, legandy73. Hope you don't mind if I throw a few questions into the mix.

Flop:
Can we raise bigger? Would 3.5x villains (half pot) donk-lead not get the same amount of calls?

Turn:
What did you think he might c/r the turn with that you beat?
If not check-back Turn, doesn't b/c seem a little ambitious with the possibility of so many unfavorable river cards?

Thanks,
MD

Kc does not complete a straight and gives us 2p (not 2nd pair) so no, we aren't checking that back at all.

if the Turn is blank. do you check back to pot control and to induce bluff at the River if the draws missed?
