Leveling up meaning changing from a non-retarded player to an actual thinking player. I'm starting to realize some new stuff and make some changes, and I'm hoping the stuff I'm realizing is correct and I'm playing well in addition to running well (running really good ATM).

Here are 3 hands where I am debating firing a second barrel on the turn with a draw....

HAND #1

1. Mp limps (25/12) and I raise [Jc] to $4.5 on the button. Blinds fold mp calls.

2. Flop [Th][3c], pot $10. Mp checks, I bet $8, mp calls.

3. Turn , pot $26. Mp checks, hero.....

HAND #2

1. Mp limps (25/12) and I raise [Jh] to $4.5 on the button. Blinds fold mp calls.

2. Flop [Ts][3c], pot $10. Mp checks, I bet $8, mp calls.

3. Turn , pot $26. Mp checks, hero....

HAND #3

1. Mp limps (25/12) and I raise [9h] to $4.5 on the button. Blinds fold mp calls.

2. Flop [Th][3c], pot $10. Mp checks, I bet $8, mp calls.

3. Turn , pot $26. Mp checks, hero....

Are your lines the same for all 3 hands? If not, which one's do you check behind and which one's do you fire an additional barrel?

1. checks

2. bets 2/3 pot or checks again (need read or stats on his WTSD% and how he plays 2nd pair on flop)

3. bets 1/2 pot

I think a case can be made for betting in all three hands as they are similar (except 3) as you have the nut FD and a gutshot straight. There are 13 cards to the nuts in hands 1 & 2 .Hand three you have 9 but I would bet it anyway. Thus even if you miss you flush or your straight your oppont may check to you on the river and you can check thru as he may be on a missed draw as well.
