I think this turn is a Check/fold. This board should have hit the villians range pretty good. I wouldn't suspect he will be value betting the turn with a worse hands than yours and even if he does, or bets as a bluff, the pot is small.

I think you are better off checking and hoping for a free card and sometimes sucking out on the villian. This turn will look just as scary to your opponent as it does to you and sometimes he'll check back a better hand.

I would bet the turn here so that I don't check/fold. Couldn't the villian have a ton of peeling hands that he might fold on the turn? Or is he so loose that he is calling everything?

I suppose we'll have to brl here a lot, but given our holding and the loosenes of the opponent, I would think it would be profitable. Sometimes we will be value betting, sometimes we will be protecting our hand, and sometimes we will improve to the winner.

I didn't understand this hand but maybe you had a special read that I was unaware of.

I like flinging poo every now and then on smallstakes... so I'd be interesting in knowing if there'll be any 1/2 or 2/4 later on this series?

That UNC thing was funny... especially after you said you're fan yourself!

yeah, you make good points. it's possible i was so pumped up after hijacking the mouse from pyg on the right table that i bet too quickly on the left. i feel like there is some chance that he calls with worse ie crap pair or crap draw, and i do have a crap draw myself, and often i can get him to fold hands with outs against me, ie outs to a chop or random ax hands, and i do tend to 2barrel fairly often in these spots, such that i don't think a bet is horribly -ev. all that said, i do agree with you that it's probably slightly -ev at least and that checking and seeing is a better and more delicate play. nice catch.

edit: yeah and then in the commentary once the river hits you see me realizing what happened Smile

i think betting is perfectly fine as well. you can hear the two of us arguing about it in the commentary Smile i think that once we do check, the fact that he bets means check/fold can be correct, since we just played a hand with him where he did peel the turn with super airball, which in my mind means the fact that he bets means he's likely to have a pair here. we don't have a lot of hands on him but i'm starting to create a read for him of loose and peely and nonfoldy. if we're firing the turn i don't think we have a ton of fold equity and i agree with you we should probably be barreling some rivers but again i'm not super convinced he's foldy yet. i think also c/c the turn isn't bad either.

Can the elephant actually be tamed? Is the Pygmy mightier than BBB? Tune in next week when Anonymous DeucesCracked Grinder sits in for epic drunken micro poo flinging!

(Would be awesome, imo)

id bet the K9o on the turn , u have no info on this guy and he can lol fold some. But i like ur point that most of the time this turn is a check vs typical .50/1 fish.

edit reason: time link probs
