did i get over exited here and bet too much on turn????

At nl8 I think the simpe truth in these spots is bet as much as you can possibly get away with without losing your customer and this is obviously opponent dependant.

With the redraw to the nut flush if you see a heart on the turn I would bet slightly less on the flop - only very marginal though, somewhere more in the middle of 1/2 and 3/4 pot. This ensures your opponent pays too much to see a turn card if he is drawing to a flush whilst getting value for you. As it is you bet 3/4 and got paid so you beat me here.

I definately bet less on the turn. People are often willing (for some reason - perhaps they expect you to just give them a free river if they 'buy' a turn card) to pay too much for draws (pot bets) on the turn but not the river. With the Kh in your hand you know, if they are drawing to a flush, they have 8 cards to hit. As such they are more than 4/1 to hit and you can really lay them whatever odds you want. As I have said you simply go for as much as you can get. Personally, I like half-potting it here, giving them 3/1 - giving them a decent price (in their eyes) whilst still netting you a tidy profit over time.

he had been quite loose so i was suprised he folded!!

will try a bit less next time.

beaneh

1.80 is fine. you have a good hand and you bet there is nothing wrong here!!! keep doing it!

Batkin88

yeah agree with beaneh its a good bet i wouldnt reccommend betting less because ur pricing him in for a flush card or even a gutshot on the str8 u already have

lynx3ffect

in short, yes u did get over excited

just keep bet sizing the same as flop, no need to bet more...stick with 3/4 - 1.8 is fine as it still sets up psb on river which is what u shud be aiming for from the outset

waynec

The bet seems fine to me DP as batkin says you dont want to price a flush draw in, I suspect you extracted the most and he would have folded to 3/4 or 1/2 IMO

I always try and bet the same weather I hit or miss, was this your normal size bet when leading out on the turn?

donkeyplop

yes usually 3/4 or pot.

i used to bet 1/2 but got some stick for it so have now increased my bets.......
