Third pair on a draw-heavy board facing a turn lead, WCOOP main event

Your flop check will motivate a lot of hands to bet on the turn, so you’ve put yourself in an awkward spot. The good news is that you can tell a reasonable story about having a strong hand here without risking your whole stack.

If you raise to to about 54k here, you’re making it tough for even decent draws and pairs to continue, and it looks like you’re committed to the pot, so there’s little chance that you’ll get three bet by a weaker hand. If you do have to fold, you’ll still have a playable stack at about 15 BBs, and if you get called, you probably have 5 live outs (and will probably get to check down the river.

It’s perfectly reasonable for you to have chosen to slowplay a strong hand on this flop - although it’s not the driest flop, you have a stack size that would probably try to milk a little more out of a strong made hand.

You can also just bail and look for a better spot, but I think you’ll take down the pot pretty often with that 3x raise and be able to play the hand correctly an overwhelming amount of the time when you don’t take it down.

What actually happened: You called and the river bricked. The BB checked and you checked behind. The BB showed QT for a busted straight draw.

I read him for a bigger pair so it was an wasy fold. Its a huge drawing board granted but with a bet like that i dont think its worth the money to see, particularly when ure below average stack. I think you fold and move on, know when your beat.

I said raise large. That looks like you hit it, waited for him to put some money in, the board got wet, and youre ending the hand before some disastrous draw takes it away from you. His bet is obviously a “you didnt continuation bet, you probably missed, let me see if I can steal this one” weak turn bet. This is all yours for the taking.

Agree with both Roza and City Born. either is a good play and will likely serve you well in the long run more often than not.

I don’t really see whats wrong with any option here, you can tell a story with any play you make. If you call, I can almost guarantee you’ll get a check from your opponent on the river, so thats probably a fine play since theres already a lot of chips in the middle. Betting will probably give you a better idea of where you’re at and most of the time take the pot down right there unless he has some kind of massive draw, and folding while a little passive IMO, is still a decent play since you aren’t desperate mode yet and still have a playable stack.
