V raises to 20 pre. 2 callers, H calls from CO with T9d.
Flop Q93 all spades. V checks his cards (which to H means one big spade). Folds to H who raises to 140. V thinks and calls.
Turn (360) 5h. V checks. H believes he's on a naked spade draw and needs to bet big. H bets 400. V tanks...
Did V bet something on the flop?
I don't really understand your logic in this hand. If you think V has a big spade, but not a flush/set, he is still likely calling and he has a lot of equity against you. Why not take a card with what is likely the best hand and a pretty good idea of which cards you like?
Why can't he have a hand like A
A, A
Q, etc?
Why do you need to bet so big?
If you really think V is on naked spades then it's not a bluff and you want him to call.
I think the last hand I posted was well played, so now I'll post my own spew.
Villain opens to $20 and gets two calls, Hero looks down at 7
4
and decides to squeeze to $100. Villain calls and one of the cold-callers calls. Oops.
My reasoning? The pre-flop opener was pretty deep with me, and he seemed to have a fold button, at least post-flop. The table had not seen very many 3-bets and I had a pretty tight, clean image. The other two players were pretty loose with wide cold-calling ranges, so I figured I usually only have to worry about the pfr.
Anyway, I was planning on pretty much giving up unless I flop some equity, but the flop is 8
3
2
, which misses everybody's ranges pretty hard, so I decide to bet $165 and it gets two folds.
