Can you point out the problems? Maybe I'm off base...?

What kind of hands can I possibly put him on that he'll call a second barrel? Therefore, I want "contain" the pot for him so that he gets a chance to catch up.

SB checks, Hero bets $13.75, SB folds
I am praying that he floated with AK / AQ type hand. No such luck. Would I have been better off betting the turn? What about the river? Bet sizing wrong?

I understand flatting the flop, b/c after all you flopped gin [the nuts] and need to think about keeping money coming into the pot and not out. But if villain doesn't lead the turn, I'm betting 100% of the time. If I don't build the pot by the turn, I'm never getting stacks in by the river unless he makes his second best hand or spazzes out. There are a number of hands that he'll continue to call with on the turn, such as, open-enders, gut-shots and pair with straight draws combos that you must make them pay for whether or not they get there on you.
ReplyDeleteI definitely think you should be betting the turn here. I do undestand what you were doing and it isn't terrible in my opinion; but given how the hand was played and your opponent, I am almost always betting here.
ReplyDeleteNow, had he been the preflop raiser, that changes thing.
