Default Re: How often are you firing turn here?

fairly easy fold preflop i think. c/f all 3 streets here

unless you are doing it purely as a bluff, lines such as overbetting turn and river like theluskanater suggest are just pretty bad.

think about the mechanics of overbetting

betting pot forces your opponent to defend 50% of his range, whilst betting 2x pot for instance forces him to defend about 33% of his range. therfore you are not taking advantage of his weak range at all, you are actually helping him by making it correct to fold all the marginal hands he would be forced to defend if you bet pot. and of course it should work great if your intention is for him to fold, because he obviously should be folding alot to an overbet

obviously as i said earlier this is fine if you are doing it merely as a bluff, but as part of a balanced strategy it really just plays into your opponents hands
