I tried to bet the amount that I would also bet with sets and a 5. I normally raise 3x and then bet around 1/2 pot on the river. Is this wrong? I'm getting the impression that I should be betting more?
I like to bet half with my value hands and bluffing hands? Should I bet 3/4 on river with value hands as well? 44, A5, etc.?
I called originally because I knew BB wouldn’t 3bet, and I was looking for a 2 diamond flop to give me a nut flush draw and I was planning to check/raise.
When MP checked back, I figured he must be weak and when he bet on a blank turn I figured I could raise him off the hand and take it down right there.
When he called, I knew the only way to win the hand would be to bet the river. He called pretty quickly on the river even though he sort of tank called on the turn after the check/raise.
Looking back on the hand, I like a 3bet instead of a flat here as well.
Also, I think I should have led out on the turn instead of check/raised. I would lead out with all Jacks, 5s and sets anyway.
V had A
J
so I guess I was never getting him to fold anyway. I should have realized that a hand like this should be checking the flop some % of the time because of how dry it was instead of getting out of line because he didn't cbet.
I wonder if V would have called with a hand like 77 or 88.
