Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 5700143, member: 397965"] Preflop I prefer isolating limpers in position rather than out of position, so with a playable but not exactly nutted hand like QJs, this seems like a perfect spot to just complete from SB and take a cheap flop. If raising does not really do anything other than bloat the pot, it is better to not raise. Flop Flopped top pair, totally on board with C-betting. Turn I dont understand this check. 4c changes nothing, so what are you afraid off? He could have some hands, that beat you of course, but if he can have for instance 85, which just made a straight, then he can have a million other hands as well. So just bet for value. Your hand is easily good enough for 3 streets against a fish, who limped into the pot and then called a raise. River This fold is to nitty. When you check the turn on a blank, you indicate, that you have nothing. You underrepresent your hand. And then you pretty much have to call down on any reasonable runout. Sure he could have backdoored into a flush, but he could also have a million hands, you still beat, and because of your turn check you have literally no information about his range. Conclusion The whole issue in this hand began preflop. When you isolated out of position, you created a large pot, which apparently you were not comfortable to play postflop. Had you just completed, the pot would be a lot smaller, and you would likely be a lot more comfortable with bets going in postflop on all streets. One of the things, you can not do out of position, is to pot control by checking back. And this is part of the reason why, you dont want to start bloating the pot already preflop with a hand, where its not clearly for value. [/QUOTE]
