This is a 6 handed , NL10 cash table!

I open MP with AKo with 120bb stack , and putting 3bb into the pot!

small blinds folds, and big blinds calls [70bbs], all other fold!

____

flop is

Ad Td, 3h

I put a 1/2 pot size continuation bet with big blinds checks to me!

big blinds calls, pot is about 12.5bb

Turn is a 9d... very scary cards!
here big blinds checks again...

So should I bet here or check to keep the pot small?


thank you

BTW: I have no data for any player on this table, so everything is blank!

thats a tough spot and with no information on the players and no range to put them on. If I was in your place I would probably bet and see if he calls or raises. Preflop bet and post flop bet were fine really , everyones different, but I'm a bit paranoid and I would have bet maybe 3/4th the pot with two diamonds showing to discourage draws.

do we have the Kd?

bigger on flop, no need to balance against fish if he's calling 1/2 pot he's calling a pot bet.

bet/fold turn is standard here I think.

I would bet another bullet here on the turn to see if he cls me. cos even though it s scary looking board, still there is a chance that he might have A-rags and wants to see if u ve hit the flush. So i would bet easily 60% of the pot here to put pressure on him. if he got flush then he ll reraise me or cls me, then it wld be chekfold to me on the river

No, actually the two cards from AK totally miss the flush draw.

you are not discouraging draws with 3/4 pot bet on the flop , secondly you are never betting to discourage , you should be betting for value and giving villain a bad price to call.

if you have Kd im checking it back here , controlling the pot size with TPTK.
If K is not a diamond then im putting in a value bet , and giving villain a bad price to call if hes got something like Ax8d , i dont want to give villain a free card here to maybe catch an 8 or diamond on the river , fold if you get reraised .

I think you should definitely bet here. The probability that the villain holds two diamonds is not high and you don't want to give him free cards if he holds only one diamond.

Bet bigger on flop,

Small bet behind on turn for pot control, fold to raise

If you just get called, I might just check behind river, or fold to a strong bet.

imo

I would say that a bet here (even a small one) will get you more information than a check. A bet here makes the other player make a choice, not just float along for another card. Information gained now makes it much easier for you to make your next choice after the river, when he goes all in out of the blue :)

Most of the times bet, but not too little because it will look like a block bet and your opponnent will use that to bluff raise turn or river (if he is good)

Smallish bet will also look like a value bet....

Why wouldn't you bet the turn? A flop call to a CB doesn't indicate anything, he could make that call with a wide range. Sure the flush hits, but a flush draw is only a small piece of his range at this point. Especially if you had been aggressive at the table, he may feel the need to defend his BB, making his range even wider.

A bet on the turn gives you information. I know the reasoning behind a check is to keep the pot small, but it can put you in a tough spot on the river. And in fact, it prevents you from losing a larger amount in some situations.

I would bet another 1/2 pot on the turn. A re-raise would prob mean a flush. Any other hand that beats you would prob have led out on the turn to avoid giving a free card w/ 3 to flush already on the board. A call would likely mean a hand, but I wouldn't be too worried that it has you beat.

If checked, you can't put them on a hand, at least not with a whole lot of accuracy.

Bet for sure. Don't want to give him free River.
ReRaise would Prob a Flush, then there is still option Fold.
