Lesson 6: Play on The TurnDon’t stop betting when a scare card hits…. Slowing down on the turn is almost always a huge mistake, especially if nobody has yet shown any signs that the turn card helped them. For example: you have AdAh and there's 3 other players who see the flop with you. The flop comes Kc Tc 6s. You bet this flop, the first player callers, the next player raises and the third player folds. You reraise, the original caller to your left calls, and the raiser calls. Now the turn brings the 8c. **********************************

You need to bet here. Do not check. While the third suited
card might scare you, in a low limit game you can't be at all
sure that either of the other two players have now completed a
flush. It's entirely possible that the original caller has a
hand like AT, and the flop raiser has something like KJ, in
which case you're still ahead. If you checked at this point
instead of betting you run the risk of letting these worse
hands improve on the river for free. Instead, what you’d
really like is for both of these hands to fold now, and at
least one of them—probably the AT—will often do just that if
you bet. By this time the pot has gotten fairly large, so
you’d be happy to take it now. If, however, neither player has
any intention of folding, you at least collect another bet
those times that they continue on with the hand. Again, this
point can’t be overemphasized; if you can’t make them fold, at
least charge them the maximum to continue on.
If you're raised on the turn, you'll have been put to a
decision. Against some players you'll have to fold here, and
against others you'll go to the river. But poker, at its
core, is a game that requires its participants to make these
tough decisions. If you shy away from making them by simply
checking and calling here, you can't beat the game in the long
run.
See you next time,
