Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6156522, member: 397965"] If you bet a flushdraw on the flop and then make your flush on the turn, it can often be a little difficult to get 2 more streets of value by going bet, bet, bet. So especially with the nut flush it can actually make sense to check the turn to underrepresent your hand. I do that some times as well. What I dont do however is to then bet almost full pot on the river. When the opponent takes that line, it looks more like, he was hoping to get a check-raise in on the turn, and when that plan failed, he tried to make up for lost value on the river. That is a valid point, but I think, its more of a thing in low stakes live games than at 2NL online. Are there really that many people, who buy in for 2 bucks, and when they are gone, that was their budget for the night? Its been a while, since I grinded cash games, but based on my memory this was more common at 10NL than 2NL. At 10NL its also more common to see people buy in for odd amounts like 6,74$, which is then typically, whats left in their poker account, meaning that now they are ready to gamble it up. But if you have noticed a dynamic in your game, where a lot of people dont reload after getting felted, then maybe this idea have some validity. Its just worth noting, that when you are not going to fold to a raise, you create a situation, where you still lose the max, when you are beat, but you dont win the max, when you get called by worse. And for me personally that overrides getting called wider. But if you think, he might just call with some of his lower flushes, then the EV of your line goes up. [/QUOTE]
