Hi!

In this hand I'm not sure about whether I played the turn/river correctly.

On the flop, I think my value cbet was fine as I could probably get weaker hands like AQ-AT, A7-A2, KK-TT and maybe some 9x hands to call (while also being called by AA,99,88,98,A9,A8). Possibly also could get called by flush draws, overall though I think bet got good value.

The turn I think I should have second barrelled. The card was effectively a blank, and I think that had I barreled again I could have extracted value from a similar range as that on the flop. Would that be sound reasoning for a second barrel? What are my other options here?

With the river, I think that given I check/called on the turn, a check was reasonable. I would probably have called a bet that was half pot or less and folded to any others. Had I second barreled instead, how would you react to this completed flush? Would you triple barrell or just check/call? Or even check fold?

Thanks!!

Hello rudders93,

You should definitely consider rather 2nd barreling and protecting your hand than just going for Check/Call vs passive opponent.

And depending on the actions on turn I would decide either to 3rd barrel or not. But with your play of course we ain't gonna donk the river. :)

Best Regards.
