Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6517750, member: 397965"] Preflop Small open raise is fine. The plan is to then get it in against any 3-bet. Flop As HP300GOD say, we are in stack-off mode here starting with only 18 bigs, and I would also look to make it a 2 street hand. Your C-bet could be a bit larger, but this sizing is completely fine, since it still leave less than a pot sized bet for the turn. Ideally we want to see an offsuit low card on the turn, and then get it in. Turn This was not a low offsuit card, since it put a 1-liner to a straight. If you bet now, no better hand is folding, so you are still not bluffing. A bet therefore has to be for value, which mean, you need to be good more than 50% when called. And I just dont see, which worse hands are still calling now, other than maybe exactly KQ or a flushdraw. So I think, this is to thin, and as in some other hands, you shared, it looks to me like, you are betting, because you are uncomfortable and dont want to face a bet from him. And this is a mistake. We are actually supposed to do a lot of checking out of position, even when we are the preflop raiser. And this is for sure a check-evaluate spot. You are just playing poker here, so depending, what he do, and what reads you have, you can either check-call and try to catch a bluff or check-fold and live to fight another hand. One of the advantages of checking is, it makes your hand look weaker and leave him more room to bluff or even overvalue a hand worse than yours. Or sometimes he will check back, because he is just as scared of the 1-liner, as you are, and then you just make a decision on the river. When you bet and get jammed on, thats going to be a much more narrow range, and even though you are getting 4:1 and only need to have 20% equity, I am not sure, you have that, since you are basically dead to a straight. So as played I prefer bet-folding to bet-calling. [/QUOTE]
