I thought it was a nice example so here it is. There is a straight draw possibility on board, but after they both checked 2 times I don't think we have to worry about that.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (10 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

UTG+2 ($1.90)
MP1 ($9.95)
MP2 ($11.05)
Hero ($2.25)
CO ($10.10)
Button ($9.05)
SB ($13.43)
BB ($11.65)
UTG ($9.55)
UTG+1 ($2)

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with Q♥, A♦. SB posts a blind of $0.05.
4 folds, MP2 calls $0.10, Hero raises to $0.5, 2 folds, SB (poster) calls $0.45, 1 fold, MP2 calls $0.40.

Flop: ($1.60) 9♥, J♣, 8♠ (3 players)
SB checks, MP2 checks, Hero checks.

Turn: ($1.60) K♥ (3 players)
SB checks, MP2 checks, Hero bets $0.8, SB folds, MP2 folds.

Final Pot: $2.40

It is a close spot, if they really have nothing they both need cards below the 8, which is not all that likely.
Still the King is a perfect Scarecard here on the turn and will win the hand often enough given the action before (check check)


When I´m pre-flop raiser, could I make conti bet on the flop?, both players checked, so it should easy to take the pot:P You also have gutshot straight draw and two overcards so you could even go all-in when someone check-raise or calls your bet.


I think the Q outs need to be partly discounted in this case because they complete the straight draw for any T. I wouldn't say it's a truly bad flop for a continuation bet in position, but a lot of connected hands hit that flop. The OP's line is probably better though.
