Posts 4415 are you planning on calling a turn raise? if not, then bet the turn bigger so i assume u were going to call a riase, hence the size of ur bet if so, is there any reason you should not call a raise ? is he a nit? if nothing really warrants a fold if he raises , then u played this hand perfectly the whole point of this is if ur never calling a raise, then its better to bet big and charge all weaker hands / extract as much value then to bet small cuz its like a scary card and ur afraid of a raise if ur afraid of the flush or feel ur definitely beat if he raises, than its actually the opposite; you bet strong... like 5.75 or whatever wut wut wut
