Do You Value Bet the Turn or Check Hoping to Get to Showdown?

It’s been a few months since my last strategy article here on PokerNews, but I’m excited to announce that you can once again look forward to new content on a weekly basis.

This week, I am going to examine a hand played by one of my PokerCoaching.com students in an online WPT500 event. In this particular hand, my student flopped top pair but faced a difficult situation on the turn when it brought three to a club flush. As you read the hand below or watch it play out in the accompanying video, ask yourself do you usually value bet the turn or check behind and hope to get close to the showdown?
