What factors do you consider when you are thinking og betting the turn and:

- Have a little SD value
- Know you are toast if raised
- Good chance will face a River bet if you cb

Sample Hande from $400 Rush

Hero MP with QQ

PF: Hero raises, SB calls.

Flop: 9, 5, 3 - 2 suited

SB checks, Hero bets 2/3 P, SB calls.

Turn: A completes the flush.

SB checks, Hero ??

My plan was b/f here and if called cb river (or fold if lead into.) In retrospect I think its pretty thin.

It can be good if you think the risk of you making a mistake on the river is very high, its also pretty good for metagame to be able to bet turn thinly for value.

do you have the Q of the flush suit? that changes things a lot.

In this particular example I did not have a suited Q.

In your opinion does that make betting the turn better or worse?

worse, because can you really call a raise on an A that completes the flush?
