Hello everyone,,
You’re dealt a strong starting hand, let’s say KQs. You raise it to 6BB from MP. Two callers.
Flop gives us a backdoor flush draw and an open ended straight draw. We bet 1/2 pot. One fold, one call.
Turn is a brick. Bet 1/2 pot as a semi bluff. He calls.
River is a nothing. We have K high. Villain is either nutted and allowing us to build the pot for him because he knows we are aggressive, or he has middle pair good kicker, or maybe a medium pocket pair, like 88.
What the **** do I do here? If I know the guy is weak, I’ll obviously bluff, but frequently I just have no read because Villain just sat down, or whatever.
The problem is if I check, then he knows I’m weak, he bets 1/2 pot and I can’t call. If I make a weak raise then he definitely at least calls. So I either have to make a strong bet or check/fold.
Where did I go wrong here? Check/call the turn instead????
