  1. I had only been sitting with villain for about 15 hands so didnt have much of a read. He had bet a couple of pots pre and took them down with C-bets on the flop. My reasoning on the hand was to flat pre to see a flop. With that texture I didnt want to gamble against a dry Ac so I went for the check/call line with then intention on leading out on any non club turn. Bad line? What should I have done differently?
    THANKS!!!

  2. Don't check the flop, bet it hard and protect your hand, see where he's at, IMO.

    But if I am fairly certain villain will Cbet here wouldn't there be more value in a check/raise as opposed to just leading out?

  4. I personally don't like the check/call on the flop there...gotta raise.
  5. id check raise the flop. its really drawy and u can look like a draw and get it in.

    also 3betting pre is an option. need stack sizes tho which are missing

    also think u lead turn for too big, but again, hard to say without stack sizes

    Sorry, didnt notice the no stack sizes....I started hand with about 72K...villain had over 100K and was CL. Thanks for the feedback.
