This thought occurs to me, more often when it's someone elses turn to bet than when it's my turn to bet. Often this happens when I've folded.
I look at the flop and the number of people still in, I find myself thinking to someone, you should bet.
Obviously, I don't know what they have, but just given the situation, I'm thinking they should bet. I think some of the situations are:
- That person raised preflop, I'm expecting a continuation bet
- There are 3 hands in, the first two didn't bet on the flop. Especially when the flop is scary; 2 or 3 of a suit, or a pair in the flop. I'm thinking, no one else showed they have anything, represent that you have something and you might win the pot right there. If they check-raise, fold.
First off, am I wrong in this thinking?
And second, are there other situations like this, maybe on the river especially, where one should be betting, almost regardless of what you hold?
