I did not xr the turn because i wanted a heart flush draw, if i hit a 2 i still made a hand as well, prob should have bet on turn? As I bet the flop representing I got a set or something. I could have continued the story

Your question makes no sense. Are you BB in the hand? There was no bet on the turn.


xr = check raise.

You cannot check raise when you are in position.

Hi, sorry for the confusion. Please allow me to address your question.

I am hero at the CO, villain is at the BB.

I check raised on the flop in response to his donk bet. I want to look like i have trips.

However, i checked the turn which represented some weak ass range.

Why did i do that? I was thinking i want to draw a heart on the river to complete the flush. I am already thinking that BB has like 67 in his range or something like that (67, 78, 75) etc…

In hindsight i would have double barrelled the turn.

Unfortunately the heart did not come on the river but i made a non nut straight. He donked again so i thought he didnt made his straight?

I had sd value so despite not hurting a flush i raised, thinking that he had a pair or something…

Hope this answers your question

On the turn, if BB checks and I raise, I am technically leading right? So its called just raise instead of a check raise yeah?

Thank you for your kind reply

No, a check raise is when you are the one checking and raising. Here the BB is donking and you are raising the donkbet.
