This turn is difficult for me. I've got two overcards on a very wet board. Two flushdraws + possible strit draws. I don't see here 35 or 85 in an opponent range. That's why I don't think I'm totally drawing dead here. Of course SB can have two pairs 67 or tips. What line on this turn is the most appropriate : b/f or b/c. I think b/f is the best line. Reasons :
- my Ace outs may be dead (opponent has many Ax hands connected to the board)
- I can be drawing dead
- this is straightforward player (during the game I haven't saw any blufs in his range).
- SB donesn't have big enoguh AF and it thows away somme hands on turn unimproved (fold to cbet turn).

If I decided to call turn I also must call river because this 4 changes nothing.

Hi!

B/f is the play only when you know what you are doing there. It means you know he doesnt bluff or even raises just single pairs(when you have 6 outs),so that his by far largest part are monsters... so betting is for freeSD

But I dont like such plays that much especially on an ugly card like this. There are a lot of possible draws,6x,7x that can be played this way....so here my preffered play would be to check back and then call his river bet. Sure you protect slightly less vs ranged overcard but you can induce them on the river... and since he can easily percieve your check as weakness+turncard looks quite good for bluff from his perspective. What counters protection deficit is also freecard that you get when behind and on this turncard you can easily be behind.

B/f here is very exploitable if done too often and even some weaker players can see that,not to mention better ones, sure vs some it can be done.
