Flush draw (too passive ??)

<< < (5/6) > >>

Erimus:
Was final 2 tables might be wrong about 15 left just from memory, one of my probs is lobby watching got to cut it out, this was probably why I didn"t bet the flop and played it a little too passively.

Regarding the 3 bet, like I said he was new to the table and thought I would take initiative in the hand, but I did wimp out of it on the flop, I did not want to get 50 big blinds in the middle with KQ off, being results orientated I did manage to finish 4th for a decent cash so happy with that.

If I did double barrel flop and turn would prob have to bet the river, and that would be with eyes closed and fingers crossed hoping that K high was good, which I definitely would not be happy with, thanks for all the input.

Don"t understand why you"d want to check the flop but then bet the turn?

Got the nickname fossil for a reason lol, thought with villain checking the flop as well, a bet on the turn would take it down if he had total air, but looking back betting the flop makes us look a lot stronger,

It"s difficult to see what you"re repping when you check the flop and lead the turn.

if he has total air, there is surely no need to bet?

Once you check flop, you are really only hoping to get a free (or very cheap) draw or to call a bluff on the river, if that is the villain"s tendency.
