I think my play preflop/flop was ok but i'm not too sure about the bet on the turn. With a half pot size bet i'm basically comitting myself to the pot, should i have been checking the turn with the straight and flush draws on the board or just pushed with my overpair?

hi, i like the hand the way it was played. I would do it almost the same bets. In the turn a medium pot bet looks fine to keep the size of the pot.

9 is like a semi scare card... although It could make the delusion for a 96 type of hands that he now has a pair and a straight draw or whatever... you also have an open ended now.... I think I would simply shove here to get maximum value out of draws and possibly worse pair... Depending on opponents ofc... sometimes I'm just raising here..

nice line preflop and nice bet play on the flop :)

I agree. We have roughly 1 potsize bet left on a very drawheavy board. I would just shove the turn.

Hey Guys! I personally think that the raise preflop here is not quite the right move. Here's my train of thought.

Because it is still very early in the DoN and you have a moderate chip stack the raise here does not makes sense to me preflop. If I where in your shoes I would defiantly call the blinds with the intent of set mining but that would mostly likely be it. The reason why is say this is what happens if a K or Q comes up on the flop? You can no longer play your tens strongly. Which in turn means you just threw away 120 chips when there was no need. Even worse what happens if the overcard come on the turn? You would probably bet the flop again and when the turn comes BOOM tough decision to make. Anyway in short according to ICM I lost chip in this kind of DoN is worth much more than a gained one. Consequently I belive set mining the tens is more profitable than raising.

I good be wrong though!! :f_biggrin:

I tend to agree here too with TT actually. I think w/ JJ we can raise for value as we get less bad flops.
