    I don't think you should waste anymore money on it unless you think that he would ever believe you have a Q and he will fold.

    I wouldn't even bother betting on the flop 347 rainbow what are you trying to achieve with that?

    if i'm betting that flop i'm definitely going to double barrel that turn, its probably the best card to see apart from an ace or king.

    i totally agree with yb, you dont have to bet big either ..£2-£3 quid

    I c bet nearly 100% of the time v 1 oppo and normally make it half to 2/3 pot if a bit wet so ur sizing is something that i would bet.. if that's any consolation lol

    Why?

    What r we trying to achieve, using the range of hands he might be holding (and how he might react to a turn bet with these hands) to justify your thoughts?


    Also what's our plan on the river?

    c/f flop or be prepared to fire a barrell on nearly all turns, unless villain is known to be weaktight. I'm definitely betting a queen if I bet flop

    Reason for betting flop is if he's calling 3bet pre with random overscards less than AK than he surely folds them to cbet on flop but if I check he bets anything and I have to fold which seems really defeatist, of course he can call 3bet pre with pairs like 99/100 which call flop so that's where it goes wrong.

    So in general what sort of flops are good to cbet, minimum of J high? and also IP would a cbet be ok here ?

    Why ?? cos if we fire 1 barrell we gotta be prepared to fire again , if not then surely we should only check flop , IF they call again it obv depends on the river card

    You didn't mention his hands/range once in your explanation tho.

    What r we looking to fold out?

    Fair point about betting, but I'm interested in what you think is a better line and why.
