    Default what to do

    what do you guys do when you think you have a fair read that someone is weak, and they call a bluff on the flop? this is for you guys who play live (none too fond of online poker). do you try to keep going on the turn or do you just check it down after that?

    i was dealt AdKd in MP and bet out 4x bb. had 3 callers. the flop was 2 rags and a J or Q (memory isn't so good). the guy immediately to my left calls, everyone else folds. well, i felt he was weak and bet out again when the turn was a blank. no flush or straight draws. calls me again. what do you guys do in these types of situations?

    You have a calling station. Maybe he has 2nd or 3rd pair and is looking for a 2nd pair, trips or just wants to get to the showdown to see what you're so proud of! Which in your example is just Ace high! - check the river and see what he does!
    Bluffing by the way is only effective on an aware opps - fish just tag along to see what developes. Don't bother trying to bluff a fish, they aren't awake enough to know what you're trying to represent.

    If you had 3 callers at 4xBB and there is a J and Q on the board I'd think its pretty safe to say that someone has paired the board or has a smaller pp. No point in betting into 3 players when you have shit yourself.
