Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6201090, member: 397965"] Preflop I would probably just take a free flop with T9s and keep my isolation raises more for value, when I am monkey in the middle as here. I am not shocked, the poster called you, and when he does, you are just bloating the pot out of position with a hand, that dont have that much equity. Flop Great flop of course and standard bet for value. Turn This is a really narly turn card, not only because it brings in the flush, but also because it counterfeited your hand. Because of the counterfeit you are now chopping with any TX, and it also kills your action, when you are still ahead. So I prefer to check-call this turn and then also check-call any river, thats not another spade. You do bet though and face the good old min-raise on the turn. This just scream value, and unless he is a complete moron, that value is not another T on this board. And even if it is, you are only calling for a chopper. You also have no chance to improve, so if you are behind, you are drawing dead. I honestly dont know, what to do here, and I really think, the main thing is to check, so that you dont allow the chance for this to happen. I have seen it in other of your hands also, that you are betting to often out of position with medium strong hands. Just check instead and allow the opponent to hang himself, or take a free card and get one step closer to showdown. River At least the river did not bring a 4-flush, but he bet around half pot again, and here we are. You need to be good 1 in 4 times to make the call or alternatively be chopping 1 in 2 times. You say, you think, he is still betting two pair, and I think, that is totally delusional. 2 pair should strongly consider folding the turn and certainly not raise. So you are basically calling for a chopper or to catch him bluffing. I think, its a close spot, and when a spot is close, its not crazy to look a bit at blockers and let that decide. Here you obviously want to hold a spade to block at least a few of his flush combos, and since you dont, you should lean towards a fold with this combo and then call with for instance AT with T of spades. He posted, which mean, he is a fish, so its totally standard for him to show up here with some suited junk like Q4 of spades or 95 of spades. Conclusion I am kind of indifferent to, what we do after getting raised on the turn. For me the main point is to check the turn, and if we did that, we can comfortably call him down, unless he starts overbetting or something like that. I also prefer taking a free flop, but its not like, raising was a big mistake or anything. [/QUOTE]
