 Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

saw flop|saw showdown

BB ($120.35)
UTG ($23.77)
MP ($0)
CO ($280.02)
Button ($95.80)
Hero ($127.59)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 8, 8. Hero posts a blind of $0.50.
1 fold, CO calls $1, Button raises to $5, Hero (poster) calls $4.50, 1 fold, CO calls $4.

Flop: ($16) 3, 8, 6 (4 players)
Hero bets $7, CO calls $7, Button folds.

Turn: ($30) 6 (3 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $15, Hero times out and folds.

Final Pot: $45

[curses at that damn slider bar]

Anyway, mixed advice here, push on turn? I was thinkin bet the pot, $45 and would have had I not timed out.

Pot is $30 + his bet $15 + your call $15 = $60

However $40-$45ish works.

What you really want to do here is bet an amount that sets up an all-in river bet he'll feel compelled to call.

If you raise to $40, that would put $110 into the pot with $75 behind. Against inexperienced/bad players it kinda sneaks up on them.

Or if you think he's on a draw of some sort and wouldn't call a river bet, then bet as much as you think he'll call on the turn drawing dead. Pushing might even be the right answer, although most opponents aren't that terrible and the ones that are you usually can pick out.

 ^Yeah what he said. Pot building is something you really need to be focusing on. Something I don't focus on as much as your eally need to.

I love le title.

Go here:

Get the AHK script called betThePot. Now you can use your mouse wheel to size your bets. It's about a million times better then the slider give or take 1000.

Wouldn't a pot-sized bet here be $75? I thought it was the money in the pot + twice the bet to be called. Or is that just PF?
