Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 7129559, member: 397965"] I know, you asked about the turn, but the idea of hand planning and pot control really begin on the flop. And we dont want to be so face up, that we always C-bet the flop, or that we always have air, when we check back. So here are two hands from my last session, where I flopped a pair but checked back the flop for pot control. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.cardschat.com/replayer/?hand=925vrJBaZ[/URL] In this one I flopped second pair on a paired board with a weak kicker. And while this is the best hand most of the time, there are not many worse made hands, that will call, if I bet multible streets for value. I also dont want to get raised, because that will put me in a tough spot, where I might either end up folding the best hand or losing a big pot, when he did in fact flop trips and have me drawing almost dead. And it worked out great. I got an almost perfect runout, and I got the opponent to put chips in the pot with a hand, that would probably just have folded, if I had bet the flop, and was drawing to two outs. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.cardschat.com/replayer/?hand=425vrK3mf[/URL] In this one I flopped second pair with an OESD on a very connected board, and once again, if I bet multible streets, there are not to many worse made hands, that can call. And once again I also dont really want to get raised and have to play a massive pot, because the value of my pair shrinks a lot, and I could be basically dead, if he flopped a straight. Yet again it worked out great, since I got the opponent to put chips in the pot with a hand, that would probably just have folded, if I had bet the flop, and was drawing to three outs. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.cardschat.com/replayer/?hand=725vrKOQe[/URL] In this one I flopped top pair on another very connected board, and this time I bet the flop. The turn card was however very bad putting a 1-liner to a straight, so from this point my goal shifted from getting value to trying to get to showdown and hopefully win a small pot. Or maybe bink a J on the river, which would give me a higher straight. If the opponent had bombed the river, I might have folded, but he bet really small, and we ended up chopping the pot. Which is as ok outcome, and the important is the decision making going in to checking back the turn. [/QUOTE]
