popmonster is a tag. I have been tag, but stealing blinds and cbetting pretty often, but I don't think I 2 barrelled at all here.

Sometimes I cbet a draw, get called, and hit the turn, and be unsure especially against decent tags or lags if continuing to bet strong to sort of rep a bluff is better than betting like 1/2 pot for value, assuming I don't have much history or extensive reads and they look kinda weak.
I'm starting to think just going 1/2 pot is better than a strong bet, and maybe mixing in a check every now and then.

What's your typical turn play here?


andy-akb is at seat 0 with $103.95.
Hero is at seat 1 with $136.80.
POPMONSTER is at seat 2 with $107.10.
Mays is at seat 3 with $87.
CallMeOwned is at seat 4 with $102.85.
pk9367 is at seat 5 with $82.65.
The button is at seat 1.

POPMONSTER posts the small blind of $.50.
Mays posts the big blind of $1.

andy-akb: -- --
Hero: :Kd:
POPMONSTER: -- --
Mays: -- --
CallMeOwned: -- --
pk9367: -- --

Pre-flop:

CallMeOwned folds. pk9367 folds. andy-akb folds. Hero raises to $3.50. POPMONSTER calls. Mays folds.

Flop $8 heads up
:Jd:

POPMONSTER checks. Hero bets $5. POPMONSTER calls.

Turn $18


POPMONSTER checks. Hero bets $16

 Yeah I like this because you seem to be repping AJ or a weaker hand that's vunerable.

bump, cuz I had another hand like this. I know it's best to bet, I just haven't been sure on the size.

so last time I tried betting smaller. villain called both my turn and river bets, and showed down a LOWER FLUSH!!! ARRRG...

so I guess the point is a marginal hand (villain quickly folded in the OP btw) is not worth even thinking about (thx IowaSkinsFan for session review).

assume he has a hand worth stacking off to and bet accordingly, according to NLT&P

If he's TAG, as in this case, I'll bet the hand strongly, but if he's LAG, I'll sometimes let him bet my hand for me.
