Bet sizing on drawy board

    Default Bet sizing on drawy board

    Line check please? Please comment on if i could have bet sized any better

    The reason i bet small on the turn was so that I could ship it off on the river for a "please call me" shove. I put the UTG raiser on AK or QQ-AA. When he checked after the ace on the river, i thought he probably had QQ or KK, since AA would probably have bet out.

    as played I think the River is an easy shove but I'd have bet more on preceding streets.

    on the flop for example, do you think he's calling 0.16 with something that he would fold for say, ~0.22 ?

    I'd raise flop to about $0.90 and shove turn
    We have 2 pair and want to get it in ASAP.

    shove the flop

    if you don't shove the flop, shove the turn

    2 pair isn't a hand that's getting better very often - commit the chips as early as possible - all of them - while you're still ahead

    wondering where the 3 extra chairs at my 6max table came from
    Unless you put SCs in vils UTG raising range, you're prolly golden... w/out those, best he can have on the flop is a set. ATs-AKs, KJs+ and others could be, so on the flop I'm more worried about the flush-draw than the straight.

    That bet kinda looks like a standard 2/3 cbet without any real concern of pricing out draws. I'd raise to at least .90 to kill any chances of him getting implied odds. By then I'm committed based on my stack (and as Robb said, two pair rarely improves...) so I'm shoving the turn and going "meh" if he's rolling with 44 or 89... There's absolutely no reason I can think of to still have money behind when the river hits with these effective stacks and that board....

    Flop bet is fine because of the SPR.

    Turn shove is a must because draws won't put it in on a blank river.
