In hindsight turn is a bet. It reminds me of a hand from the other day where our equity improves slightly (with a draw) but our fold equity doesn't necessarily improve so i'm skeptical as to whether betting is preferred or not

Hi legand73

Preflop: looks fine

Postflop: Definitely bet that turn there and plan to bet quite a few rivers.

You are BTN vs BB so you can get floated lighter and sicne your equity improved to two draws your FE requirement is NOT big at all.

How many rivers? Can we really rep overs when high cards hit on such a board? or are we mainly repping completed hands from the get go?

If you size your bets properly you can still rep all sets and all overpairs, can't you?

And since he calls two streets (assuming he calls turn) on such a wet board what can his range really be made up of?

Yeah we can definitely rep overpairs and sets. I was just thinking about which cards on the river we can barrel and why we would be barrelling them. Were you mainly thinking we can plan to bet blanks/high cards that don't complete any draws?

Think of it like this:

- we have J high
- he has a range of weaker pairs and draws

Even folding Qx, Kx, Ax is not a bad thing right? But how about weaker pairs? Can they really call 3-streets even if some draws miss? You should get at least some FE.
