I hit two pair on flop and made a standard bet (i think). And the villain calls without odds (he had 10h 9h) so there's his mistake, but its the play after that im unsecure about, i think i was too eager to get some chips after i hit that hand, considering that this limits are full of ppl that call all the time with anything. Comment plz, and tell me what would you have done... thanks!

I would bet bigger on this flop, around pot size and would push to a raise.
On the turn, board is very draw heavy and I would probably check/fold or check/call depending on bet.

Thanx for responses... i think you are right about betting harder on flop, as there were 4 people seeing the flop... but shouldnt I bet on turn? I dont see why i have to give a free card without forcing them to make a pot odd mistake for their call. Thanx in advance!


Surely bet more on flop. As to turn, I don't think that bet/calling the is that much overplaying the hand - I might consider folding to push, but most likely will call. River I like more c/c - those who missed some draw might try to bet into you and they want call your bet, as played, I'm not folding to the minraise.


I would bet pot on flop. You need to protect your hand. especially when you've got a small pair, which might get cancelled out if the board pairs.

In this case the bet on the turn was OK imho, since the pot is not big enough for a push. Here your play is dodgy because of that small bet on the flop. If bet more on flop, then I'd push on turn due to the draw heavyness on the board. Even if they've got an unlikely staright. you still have a small chance of outdrawing them on the river.

The thing is that if the board pairs, then you're screwed, so I would not bet this hand for value, but for protection. The bet you made was more for value (a small bet in a multyway pot is likely to build the pot and leave some opponents in the game. In contrast, a bigget bet still builds the pot, but it drives out opponets, making your decisions easier in this case.)

Hi all,

Flop: bet 80-100. If someone raises, call and check/raise all-in on most turns (not the 7 though obviously). If someone shoves, fistpump and call.

As played-turn: Good bet.

As played-river: Bet more and fold to a raise. Something like 400 is best.
