FYI this was posted in the wrong thread, it should be in the Ring Game Analysis Thread.

As such BET!

re raise him. make him pay to see if he is trying to draw.

ooopsy misclicked could it be moved please

how much do ya bet the turn?

preflop and post flop ok?

Preflop and flop are perfect. $4 bet sounds right for the turn. If he's on the flush draw you have to price him out ... he might call with a dirty jack, and ideally he's playing a Ax hand.

Yes of course 4 bucks is good -- why do you need help with this one, pretty straightforward...

The issues I see here are value bet up front, or take the chance on the str8 draw filling.

A C/R looks good here, with the minor risk of that draw filling. If he is sitting with the case ace, you are sitting golden. If he has A and a broadway card he's at best sitting with 4 outs, and might be thinking you are sitting AX and he has you outkicked.

If you bet out your are screaming you have an A, and he thinks perhaps 2 pr, it looks possible he could fold, but if you give him some rope here, I would think he could easily hang himself.

Check/raising is horrible, as any jack is going to check behind after that ace fell, and draws will all pay to see the river.

Bet. Maybe CRAI on the river against an aggressive opponent depending on river card. But I probably just bet this one out.

Well you didn't bet enough but when you re-re-raised him i would have thought any person with a brain would have realized his gut shot was waaay behind. Thats just a bad river

You honestly think that? If you can't get someone to fold with an inside straight draw, you probably bet wrong.

Why do we want them to fold?
