  2. Not much different. There checking back all hands on the turn, that are not boats. Maybe bet slightly smaller than 1/2 pot.
  3. Definitely check the turn, if hes lag as you say he'll prob bet here and if not, giving him another card to complete a draw won't hurt.
  4. check the turn forsure
  5. Yep, check turn like others said. He's probably on some type of draw there. Maybe a weakish ten but doubt it.
  6. This is a level for sure. lmao check turn
  7. most probably check/fold, as 9c7c will spike the Jc on river
  8. why did you reraise the flop??? You scared of the clubs? I prob woulda just called the raise on the flop and checked to him on the turn hoping he'd get out of line. I'm sure you cost yourself some chips with the reraise on the flop then leading the turn.
     
  9. I would make a large all in bet on the turn. Your hand is vulnerable and you must protect it. If the 6c 7c 9c Jc or Qc comes you'd have to check maybe call a small bet on riv expecting to be beat and what happens if an 8 or T comes? did you think of that? You'd only have bottom quads and I don't see how you could put any more money in the pot.

    you just made my day
  11. maybe im the only one that has played with this species of donk. the kind that chases alot. obv i know i have the nuts. but what can he have, maybe a weak 10 or a draw. so why wouldnt i make him pay to chase his draw.i understand checking the turn but the i dont think ive seen any responses that say why that is the best option.

    To allow for him to catch up in the hand and make a mistake on the river.
  13. You could bet really small (900 is around 1/3 pot) and induce him to chase his useless club/straight draw.

    I feel like betting large might be best against these type of players, who think that hands like J-9o or A-2cc is unfoldable here.

    In general I feel like the only way you can fuck this up is to check... your description makes him seem like the type of player that calls every draw and doesn't bother bluffing if he misses.
