Message: [QUOTE="300HPGOD, post: 6902585, member: 305911"] Don't disagree with any of the above but betting small on the turn can be a form of pot control too in the sense that its like a blocker bet for the river. It may, in many cases, stop our opponent from leading river for value or for bluffing since they feel we will 3 barrel river. Then we check back river for the pot control. This allows us to still get 2 streets of value at times, although small bets of value and also villain can fold turn since they think they will get tripled. Im not saying thats what I would always do or often do but I think its a plan thats applicable here expecially if we think we will face a lot of bets on the river and we dont think we will bluff catch often going to the river. If we get check raised on the turn then its an easy pitch and also allows us to avoid a river decision that we wound up facing. I totally agree on the exploitation part as well since our hand is similar in strength, imo, to AK since we do we really feel villain has AK or AQ and played this way, so if we are folding A10 here are we folding AK and I think the answer would be yes (maybe Im wrong on that so please everyone give your thoughts on what we do here if we had AK instead of A10). Therefore, we are folding all top pair hands in this spot on a board where no draws came in. I understand that should mean less bluffs but if our opponents pick up on that fact we think that way then they will do the reverse of what we think which is to bluff every dry board and not bluff wet boards. Yes, its a $5 tourney and Im way over thinking it but its worth a mention. [/QUOTE]
