  1. didnt want all the limpers to call a 3x so i bumped it up to 5x to try to weed out the weaker hands. I got 2 flats no info on either player. The board seemed to hit his range on the turn. Do i put out a feeler bet on the turn? Any advice please.

  2. Turn card is scary as hell. I don't think you're ahead enough on the river to make a pot-sized call profitable...even on UB. What are you beating that makes sense, other than air (and maybe JJ)?
     
  3. do you think instead of checking the turn i should of put like a 40-50% pot bet out to see where i was at?

    As a blocking bet, that's not a bad idea. It's easier to confirm you're screwed that way.
     
  5. Just some other thoughts for you, I would raised more pre, 2 limpers and the small blind AND you're OOP for the rest of the hand. That woulda made flop bet a bit bigger, I never woulda checked the turn, and If you get called to the river I might even check call river, but only in the above circumstances.
    As played I prolly fold river bet.
  6. Big sigh, fold, onto the next hand.

    I would've put the bet you suggested out on the turn, check/fold if it gets to the river.
  7. Probably a little larger raise pre flop.....bet the flop, bet the turn......see from there. No bet gets you no info and puts you in a bad spot.....so do you call the river?

    As I count it...with his bet of $400, there is only $800 in the pot and costing you $400 of your remaining $1350 (assuming my eyes are reading all of this correctly)......I sit on a 50/50 call/fold.
  8. thanks for all the advice fellas. I don't know neither what he had because i did fold. Checking the turn was weak imo. Any way the advice and opinions are much appreciated.
