What is the right amount to bet here?

Postby Hofstra » Tue Apr 26, 2005 12:21 pm

$50 NL at UB. I played two hands against the same guy, who seemed to call with a variety of hands in order to outdraw/outplay opponents on later streets. In the first hand I didn't have a read on him yet, except that he was loose preflop. How should I play the turn in the first hand? How much should I bet on the turn in the second?

Hand 1. I'm BB with [Ac][Ks]. Two limpers, I raise to $2,50. BB and villain call. My stack is $50, villain has $40, BB has $20.

Flop: [Kd][8c][4c]. (Pot about $7,50).

I bet pot. BB folds, villain calls. I don't think he has a flush draw, because I have the ace, but KQ of clubs is not impossible. With a K I would expect a raise, but he seems to be a bit passive. I'm worried about 88.

Turn: [Kc]. I decided to bet here, and I bet $15. Villain moves in, it's $15 for me to call, which I do.

River: [7h]. Opponent has K7 and takes the pot.

Normally, if an unknown opponent calls a potsized bet on that board, would you assume a set and check-fold the turn?


Hand 2: I have $50, villain has $90. I get AQo in EP and raise to $2,50. Villain is only caller.
Flop: [Qd][8d][3h].
I bet pot, villain calls. By now I know he call many bets on the flop, hoping to outdraw or outplay on later streets.

Turn is a [9s]. I still think that I'm ahead here, so I bet $15 into a $16,50 pot. Villain calls again. Since he raises if he hits something hard, I still figure to be ahead.

River: [Td]. This completes every possible draw. I check, opponent goes allin, I fold. (Opponent shows JJ).

Should I overbet or push the turn in order to discourage him from staying in?

Any help appreciated.
