$100 NLHE 6-max: Top pair line check

[F Paulsson]

FP why not 3 1/2x raise the flop i know his range is opened wide an you would be running out worse hands.But that is one heavy draw board i would be 90% sure i had the best an we know he is going to c bet atc.IMO the flat call gives q9 a chance or maybe a3 off that just got the flush draw on the turn a fired two barrels.

If Q9 will fire any turn and A3o will fire many turns, then I don't want them to fold. We're not going to lose a big pot when we get outdrawn (not big enough, anyway) so we shouldn't be overly concerned with getting drawn out on. We should raise if we think there's a ton of value in it - and like I said, this especially means if we think he'll spazz out on the flop and do something silly like shove very light - but otherwise I think we're better off in the long run letting him bluff twice. Even if that means occasionally being drawn out on.

ok fp i get point as long as he still fires 16 or close to it on the turn with out improveing but if he weak beats the turn still not sure like 7-9 or something silly.
