Holdem No Limit - $1 BB

Ryanbear just joined the table. Happy with everything until the turn. I panicked on the turn i think, the only hands that called me here are beating me, although if he dosent have spades hes very likely to fold here anyway but im still not happy with how i played it. Saying that with $40 in the pot and only $60 left behind for me, i felt i had 2 options check/fold to a big bet or push as a $20 bet into this pot isnt going to scare him away and leaves me committed and its not worth betting any less, if i checked i think im giving him the advantage here to push me off my hand.

you are in position, so check behind, see what happens on the rive. Thats probably the worst card in the deck

Pushing here is horrendous. I did lol at the turn card though.

I agree, knew as soon as i did it it was a panic bet.

Assuming i dont hit a spade or 10 on the river and no overcards or any more dangerous cards, if i checked behind on the turn and he bet into me, how big would the raise have to be for me to fold 1/2 pot, 3/4 pot ??

you bet because u were afraid he'd bluff you? that thinking is a bit off, I much rather call a bet on the river that might be a bluff than shove the turn.

If you checked a blank turn and the river was an offsuit two i would usually call any size bet.

All draws missed and you checked the turn indicating that your flop bet was simply a continuation bet. As a result of these 2 factors, your opponent is more likely to bluff the river in an attempt to steal what's in the middle, so i'd snap call whatever bet he makes (against msot players anyways)
