    risk2Dupside...

    I check back the flop because I feel like we get check/raised on this kind of board a bit and we have too many nut draws to let that happen to us.

    We flop the best card in the deck on the turn because it not only gives us the nuts but also the nut flush draw. Villain donk leads into us.

    Given villains range for donkbetting into us is kinda wide-ish here but is almost never air, and given the potential for tons of of rivers to shutdown our action, are we better raising the turn rather than flatting?

    I am scared even the smallest of raises will induce a fold...
    I like to flat here and hope he leads the river...

    bricked river checked to you is obv value betting; read dependant
    ANY river lead into you is MONIEZ!

    agree turn is 100% a raise there is 5 cents in the pot you gotta get something in there to set up a big river bet. If he folds good luck to him.

    Very unlikely villain has a hand he can easily fold. Raise turn for value.

    Agree, I raise the turn to say 400ish ? A lot of the time he'll open fold, but every now and then he'll have QJ or somesuch and you'll stack him.

    Raising here every time also Benn. Too many cards are going to kill river action.

    Get some monies in the pot.
    pz to all

    Raise obviously.

    Make it 410 or 430, bet ~650 on most rivers that dont change anything or shove over him if he leads. I'd bet more on a queen or jack river. You want to play for stacks right? Build the pot and he's more likely to call a turn raise than a river raise. Sure you lose 300 sometimes but you gain his stack often enough to make up for raising the turn

    BTW i'm Talerric on Stars/SwoopAE tilt I was at this table when the hand took place
