    think he was always calling after the turn card  due to the outs, 2,5,3 etc not much you can do

    you try to make your oppo make mistakes. This is how you make money. When you bet you want worse hands to call, or else you want better hands to fold

    When we bet, we want people to call with worse hands, and fold better.
    Your turn bet achieves the first bit to perfection. Just unlucky obv.

    mmmm interesting,so what you are saying is...you never want oppo to fold while you are head even if he has draws that can beat your hand.?

    i would of quite happily of taken it down on the turn.
    surely every hand doesnt have to go to showdown for all of your chips,even if you are ahead on the turn?
    cheers,dave

    aslong as you dont make massive mistakes when your opponent hits, then no

    you have over 1000 posts in a poker forum & you dont know that when we have a good hand we want people with worse hands to call?

      Firstly looking at this hand.

      I hate the opponents play both preflop and on the flop but the real scenario here is on the turn.


      On the turn he has 9 outs 2 2's   4 3's and 3   5's. Although these are not totally clean outs but is good enough for looking at. This makes him 4 to 1  to win the pot. Your bet gives him odds of 2 1/3  to 1 to win which is obviously not good enough. But now we have to look at the implied odds with your stack size if he hits and you pay him off then it gives him an extra 1.78 to 1 in odds. This takes him over the threshold for the call but it is still marginal at the very best.

      There is of course the other option in this hand as well. Which is that he just decided that you were just playing a big ace and barrelling him in which case he could even have thought that he was ahead and you were drawing thin indeed.

      What we always need to be looking at in any hand (if possible)  is not just what we have or our opponent has but what our opponent thinks we have. In this hand (apart from calling off on the river) there is a good chance that you would have played AKss exactly the same way.

     As it is you got your opponent to make mistakes preflop, on the flop and on the turn. That is winning poker there.

    if i could see his cards on the turn i certainly dont want him to ca ll,i would rather take the pot down than risk him hitting at 35%ish.

    there was an element of venting but i thought i was time to ask for  a bit of advice as i cant win a bean  (on sky) at the moment.

    so thanks for comments guys,even the ones i dont agree with make you think of different was of playing certain hands,slowing down e.t.c....

    you are ahead...we want people to call with worse hands...if people folded everytime they were behind to you, then you wouldnt win any pots worth winning.

    Poker is verys simple sir :)

    Of course u want him to call the turn dont be silly! 

    why get him to fold when he is miles behind, better to get more value and hold :)
