The setup: You’re fairly new to this table and haven’t given a whole lot of action so far. You’ve won a couple of pots with preflop raises and continuation bets but no major pots to this point.
The CO is a pretty tight preflop player according to your PokerTracker stats, and a reasonably aggressive one post-flop. There are two pretty loose players in the blinds.
This hand, UTG folds and CO raises to $7. You call, hoping to drag in the blinds. Everyone behind folds instead and you flop top pair and two backdoors:
9s3dJc
Your opponent thinks a second and then checks. You bet $12 into $17 and they think another second and call. The turn brings the 3s. They check again.
There’s $41 in the middle and it’s your action. What’s your play with top pair medium kicker?
1. Bet half pot to pot
2. Check
3. Bet half pot or less
4. Bet over pot
