Hi all,
hoping to confirm my Turn line and consider alternatives.

J seems a bad card as it completes a few straights but more 2 pair combinations. A mid range board also hits a lot of villains set possibilities.

I imagine villain might raise/fold hands like T9 and J9 which I beat but as I think villains flat on the flop with a player yet to act looks quite strong I decided I would bet/fold this turn. Perhaps I am just pesimistic but I cannot think of nearly as many hands I beat then I am crushed by - would you agree?

I thought checking seemed weak as there is not much I want to see on the River but perhaps this is a reason to check/call for pot control hoping to win a small pot with the SDeq we already have?

Any feedback much appreciated,
MD

I think your play is fine,
I think check/call on the turn for pot control is not a good play here,
because if you check, he raise and you call, more likely you have to call one more bet on the river, which I dont think we can comfortably calling it.

Maybe check/fold is a better play here,
If you check and he check behind, we are more likely to be ahead, and we can bluff catch if he decide to river bluff his draw.
If you check and he bet, then fold it because there is not much you can beat.

However, if he is on a draw, check/fold(and check/call too!) gave him a free card if he is on a draw.
For this reason I think your play is fine too.

Hi MasochisticDesire

Preflop: looks fine

Postflop: You played this absolutely fine.

CO called with another guy left to act so he can easily slowplay a big hand in hopes the other guy comes along. Good bet/fold.
