theory - how would you play it?

(1/6) > >>

Another hand taken from somewhere else so you can compare your thoughts...

We raise in CO with  qd td , BTN calls. [no reads on villain, assume this is in a cash game which u can apply to most stakes]
Flop comes  6c  ts  9c 6C,TS,9C
We bet, villain calls.
Turn comes  8h - so the board now looks: - 6c ts 9c 8h 6C,TS,9C,8H
We bet, villain calls.
River comes  qh so the board now looks: -  6c ts 9c 8h qh 6C,TS,9C,8H,QH
What would u do and why?
Also would anyone play the flop or turn different? if so why,what is your logic/reasoning?


edit - is it me or are these cards sometimes hard to distinguish? lol

Paulie_D:
There are no amounts given but I"ll assume that"s deliberate to concentrate on the "theory" but I"m unsure on what "theory" you are trying to expound.

To my mind, I"m firing the 3rd barrel and putting him to the test. The board is SO wet I doubt the villain knows where we are and unless he"s found the nuts he can"t raise.

Of course, it"s a bluffable board if he so chooses but I think he would have value raised the turn if he was going to do that.

FWIW, I play it the same way as shown.

TheSnapper:
Stack sizes are important, I assume full stacks 100 bb".

No reads either, optimum play versus player A may be spew versus player b. That said, I will check this flop almost 100% and calling if villain makes a bet.

Why check flop? Our hand is weak and we may have to fold to a flop raise, usually on this board villains range contains lots of hands that can raise us, sets, two pair,  pair draw combo"s, straight and flush draws.

We weaken our range by checking and more importantly weaken villains range to include bluffs and semi bluffs.

Paulie_D:
I"m NEVER checking this flop...if i get raised, so be it, I"ll re-evaluate then.

Raising pre, hitting and then checking is way to weak for me.

OK shoot me but I am all in post flop
