| I was thinking of raising and folding to a threebet... but then I figured, if I'm going to fold to a threebet, why raise? |

| I don't understand the turn check...For most opponents, the flop donk bet is basically telling you he doesn't have a T and the board has a lot of draws on it, so I say just bet. |

| I bet the turn. If he has a ten and bet the flop and got no raisers, it's really unlikely he's going to try to checkraise the turn. And if he has a Q or a draw he's calling, so there is value in betting. |

Well, in a case of earth shattering logic, I figured villain either had the T or he did not.
If he had the T, I was saving money by checking through the turn.
If he had a Q, I was losing money by not getting value for it
If he had nothing, I was going to let him attempt to draw thin (I'm only really scared of a K on the river... but it wouldn't change much.) or let him stab at a river which he has no chance of picking up, either way hoping to get an extra bet when ahead and lose the last when behind.
I think I like my check through on the turn. I think I should have popped a river and folded to a threebet. But you guys seem to hate that line. |

| I also, would raise the flop and see what line my opponent takes. if he calls, im putting him on either a bluff attempt on the flop or maybe hes got a Q also. But the way opponent played the hand...i wouldnt be surprised if he actually did have a 10. i've seen a lot of players bet out their trips and then if they get one caller, try to induce a caller to bet and then check-raise him...but this is at $1/$2...not sure how it is at $5/$10 |

I disagree. Raising the flop is dumb. We'll only fold a worse hand, and we'll get punished when he has a better hand. Raising the flop does us precious little good.
If he's willing to fire bets into a pot when he is way the hell behind, why would you want to raise and discourage that? |

So why discourage them from betting? |

| Because I want to get to showdown. If I raise the flop and bet the turn, I can choose to check behind on the river. It also makes for an easier laydown if I get 3 bet on the flop |

If the action goes, villian bets, you raise, he calls. you bet, he calls. You should always be betting the river.

You'll have the best hand a decent% even when the flop gets 3bet. |

i find that in the low limits that I play at ($1/$2)...this raise is effective for me because its not really "discouraging" my opponents when they're behind. Its just capitalizing on their retardedness for calling my raises when they're behind. Very often they will go to river and showdown with a crap hand all the while calling my raises and bets when i think my hand is good. I see players with low pocket pair firing a bet on flop when the board is paired or even high card draws. |

Why? It's the same concept as raising for a free showdown just on the flop. Would you bet the river against a passive player if 5th st completed every draw out there? |

It may cost the same but it is not the same concept as a free showdown raise.

Most definitely yes. |

If you have the best hand, it costs villian less. |
