You say you want a free card on the turn because you have position, and then you didn't even USE that position with the knowledge you gained! Why didn't you bet the turn? The Q isn't too scary for you, since it's unlikely that the original bettor had a Q and it's HIGHLY unlikely that the first player called two cold with a Q, unless it was a heart. I bet that you're either still ahead or completely crushed, and if you're currently being crushed by someone with a J, then the flop play is neither here nor there. I mean, drop in a bet on the turn, if someone raises you off of it, fine let them. You probably are up against the J, and you're only giving up 5% of the pot equity by folding (if even that much, he might already be full).
In summary : The flop raise was fine. If anything, you donked up the turn. You should bet your hands that have no outs if already beaten and check your hands that if beaten have outs. This is the former case, since you only have two outs and they might not be good if someone has JQ. The fact that your 7 came on the end to possibly save your hide is neither here nor there.Statistics: Posted by Ebonwoulfe — Sun Dec 18, 2005 9:44 pm
