I think I should have bet flop bet turn and decided on river
Hey CustardKid,
On the flop we don't need to bet super large or anything - we usually have the best hand + we are not scared of spades and we don't want to get blown off our nut-flush draw. So we can reduce sizing here and keep our opponents' calling range wide.
Probably fine to x/c turn, x/f river. We can mix our turn play up between betting and checking, so nothing wrong with turn x/c here. As for river x/c it really depends on how aggressive, vs most players at this limit it's probably better to x/f river.
I was betting for protection on the flop but against what draws I had them beat lol, Im glad you pointed that out for me thanks, I guess I was auto playing and not thinking too much I forgot to think about his hand range too.
would it be ok to bet river if it doesn't pair to gain value out of Kx, since they would mostly check back?
thanks
Ck
