Poker Stars, $6.71 Buy-in (10/20 blinds) No Limit Hold'em Tournament, 2 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite. View Hand #15985091

Hero (SB): 1,530 (76.5 bb)
BB: 1,470 (73.5 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 6

Hero raises to 40, BB calls 20

Flop: (80) K

(2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets 40, BB calls 40

Turn: (160) A

(2 players)
BB checks, Hero ?

Few hands so far, so no reads. So betting vs checking OTT vs unknown and why?

i see no possible reason why we would check here. we have the best hand almost always and even if we dont we have 7-9 outs for the nuts

Yeah, i just wonder if it's worth cheching back and letting him maybe bluff otr, or catch some weaker flush to make a bet or call one. OTT we pretty much have the nuts, but it's also a scare card to all of his weak one pair hands, draws and would be difficult to continue with them oop on this board

Why you thinking so much into it when you are readless? Just bet you need some pretty insane reads to check the turn. IMO

If he has a King with out a heart you might get one more street of value when you bet turn while if you check and river is 4th heart he usually folds.

If he has a pair with a heart he almost always call turn and probably call river if he hits his flash.

If he has a flush you still have outs to the nuts.

Only reason we might consider to check turn is because we dont like to get raised in case he has flopped a flush but still i think we are deep enough to call turn and reevaluate river.
