dont show results , just the hand as it is played

on flop you should bet for few reasons
if they had A they would normaly raise preflop but betting flop will tell you where you are and having bet preflop you can repesent the A anyway

turn is just bad , they will bet with flush draw & with Q

Hi all,

We should check behind on the flop because if we bet in position we are only ever getting called by worse. On this board we also get called by flushdraw, sure, but Ax and air is a way bigger part of their range, and we get much more value from those hands with a check behind.

On the turn after checking on the flop we should always call this bet heads up. 3-way it's a bit closer, but because the bet is quite small we can call profitably.

On the river I would consider calling another, third bet, but I'm definitely checking behind if it's checked to me.

ty for a good reply

But I was planning on calling the turn bet but since if anyone had been drawing for the flush it hit them... So I didn't call since I thought I would also need to face another bet on the river... And no real outs to make my hand better...

but ty for a good reply now I know how to play this hand next time I see a similiar situation

Check behind on the flop and after a bet and a call on the turn it`s an easy fold.

again, I don't like this. We should call at least one street (= turn) with our hand.
