Message: [QUOTE="300HPGOD, post: 6208812, member: 305911"] I agree a lot of 2 NL players do not bluff often but they still do bluff depending on who they are. Folding the turn there might be too tight especially against certain opponents. When I see the hand though, I think would you be checking the turn if you had hit the flush yourself? If the answer is no then maybe villain has a "population read" on you and knows you never bet large on the flop and then check the turn when you make your hand after 3 betting pre. The bet sizing on the flop is fine since it will get value from certain Axs and flush draws. On the turn I think I like betting small here to make it look like a value bet that you want villain to call (20 to 25 cents). If you get raised you can easily pitch. Smaller Ax that are not two pair will not raise you here but could call and you continue to get value from them. Certain opponents will just call there with the flush which can get you trouble but if they do not have the Ace of spades they will be less willing to do that. If you do get called then you can evaluate river based on card and either check to bluff catch, check to fold, or maybe even small lead and turn your hand into a bluff. The problem is by the river there are also 4 Ax hands that beat ours and these are hands that would limp pre and then possibly call a raise. I dont like bluff catching two streets here (if we are even ahead) and I dont like calling 3/4ths on the turn to fold river and to be honest I dont like folding the turn. This is just crappy spot where I think you have to decide what is the best way to play it and that may be more of a feel thing depending on table dynamics then a pure "this is the way to play it" spot. Personally without knowing any dynamics I would continue to rep a hand on the turn and see how the villain feels about the 3rd spade hitting the board. [/QUOTE]
