Thanks for a great series. I have to say, I subscribed to deuces in small part to the roshambo at the beginning of episode one and PygmyHero's "your rock was a dog to my range" comment.

I can't believe you guys teased that joke for like 10 minutes.

Really cool spot, with the turn being a T I like betting twice when the river bricks off but, if the turn was the T I would pretty much always c/f the river when it comes a blank

Just thinking that he has a bunch of one diamond hands that he will play passive

I REALLY like checking the river when we hit our 9, we don't have to bluff anymore and we're not getting to many worse hands to call us

he might get desperate for his last bet with QJ or w/e he peels with

I think betting would be really bad

BBB, go to options in the client and you can select to have normal cards at all table sizes

I really like this check behind
I think it's a good hand to have in your range to be giving up (assuming he bets) with since you're going to be betting the turn twice with soooo many hands on this drawy texture

Hi guys,

Is this a standard bet on the turn? Does it make sense to check and hope to induce bluffs or thin bets and avoid getting raised? I am not sure how much value we have in a bet and it seems the villian will be folding here quite often with hands that he otherwise don't have many outs against us. We are ahead of a lot of Queens, but the villian may bet this for us anyway. We are ahead of smaller pocket pairs but they may fold to our bet. We do get value from some weak peels that have now turned into flush draws on the turn.

What would be your plan if you were raised on this turn?

Thanks.

BBB mentioned several of the reasons why I would prefer to raise QJ here such as building pots in position, be able to take free cards if we choose, etc. I would also ad that we will get paid off more often when we flop top pair with the Queen or Jack since we have built a bigger pot.

Just because you raise this preflop doesn't mean you have to C bet always or continue at all with this hand.

I don't love the raise here. I think players donk here with pairs, and Ace high hands here a lot and are never getting away from there hand on a paired board like this. I agree, this is rarely a ten but it is also rarely complete air.

On the flip side, you will usually be good if you hit your Q or J on the turn so I don't completely hate it. I like it better if you had a diamond in your hand.

I think betting is the better play here. By the time we get to the river I think his most likely holding is a hand like a smaller pair we beat but might check back on the river. If he has an Ace or 5 he is going bet anyway but we can't lose much more since he is short stacked if we bet and he raises. Short stacked players will sometimes call down here with K,Q, or J high. If I knew this player was the bluffy type, I would CR the river.

I think capping here with A3s would be bad. Your going to be OOP, behind equity wise and in a basically dry pot post flop. Even if we get the button out with a flop bet, our hot n cold equity against the all in player can't be much better than even.
