    Can't see stack sizes but why did you not bet the turn?

    to see stack sizes jutst highlight and drag right lol. bit strange.

    and reason for not betting was that i thourght i would scare off anything worse than my hand and better hands could 3 bet me then what do i do?

    hoping i could get value from a 9 or something on the river, trying to make myself look weak

    Smitalos likes to say "in before..." things, so allow me to get in before smitalos rips into you for this post.

    You can't assume that smitalos is never calling with worse than two pair on the turn, neither should you be fearing that you might be raised (It would be a raise, not a 3-bet). Okay, he might raise you but you ought to have some idea of what that might mean and you can still be called by quite a few worse hands. How often does smitalos actually have a set or better two pair on this board? How easy is it for him to put you on a two-pair hand here? The only reason not to bet is that you think he sees you as a nit who only double barrels when you're massive.

    How does raising small on the river make you look weak? The small raise looks like big strength, most of the time, because you're unlikely to be bluffing with that sizing. It just looks like you're desperate for value, which you are.

    Seeing stacks, it's tough for you to actually get stacks unless smitalos actually raises at some point... However, it may be possible if you just bet three streets rather than checking back the turn.

    If you are comfortable playing any two junky cards otb, which you clearly are, then why not continue value betting when you hit two pair! Just does not make much sense to check the turn.

    I'm guessing he means you massively capped how big a pot you can win by not betting the turn, when we're in IP so in total control and can make sure we never miss a street of betting when we have 2pr and are getting called by a ridic amount of worse hands... especially when it's Smitty! ;)

    Yes but that still doesnt explain how.

    He calls bottom pair with another bet? Then gets it all in on the river. It doesnt make sence?

    lol

    I smell ego.
    fwiw I love you too buddy <3


    sighcall, you couldn't have stacked me dw. Maybe made a tad more, mayyyyyyyyybe. But on the whole I think you got pretty much the max in this particular spot. For sure bet the turn though.
    nh sir

    as far as i can see i aint betting on turn to bluff, and i cant see many hands that will call me that arnt ahead, so i am not betting for value?
