Hey Hey…

we are read less here, my question is which line do u take otf? These are the situations I get really confused about. If we bet this flop, i don’t think many worse hands are calling and if they do call they have decent equity against our hand. my question is are we betting here for value/protection? it seems that we are imo. Though, it’s weird because when u make this bet you would rather want your opponent to fold rather then to call.

that being said , lets say they do call and the turn Theart ,v checks, do we continue to bet for value/protection or do we check back and re-evaluate otr? i find it difficult to play these bottom pair type of hands pretty much.

if we aren’t betting for value/protection , can we turn our hand into a bluff here? i think our bluffing range can be wide in this spot , especially with hands that has a slim chance of winning at showdown.

cheers.

Flop is an easy bet, even though he won't fold better and you don't have great equity against his calling range, you have a lot to gain by making him fold even when you're ahead, and nothing good happens if you check. If he calls, I'd be done with the hand unless you improve. More on this subject: …..rotection/

I've read that article a while ago , I'm going to re-read it again now , thanks andrew.

 

btw why will you be done with the hand? 

 

hero bet flops , v calls , on the turn if we check back Theart

Guess I call that exact run out. I mean, there's a decent chance you can check down and win, but if Villain calls a flop bet, I don't think you have very good equity to begin with, and most run outs will improve his equity (as well as make this hand weaker relative to the rest of your range).
