This turn sucks balls, but he's giving boat odds. Then I thought that I can't fold river anyway, so I shoved.

Standard ?

(Should've bet more on flop, so I could insta-shove any turn anyway, I know)

NH. Did you boat?

[Vyse]

Yeah, pot flop.

I reraise more preflop...I'm going to $6 here...I really don't want 2 callers.

I'd rather lead the turn, not let it get checked through. What was your plan if he shoved after you checked? And as you know, pot that flop. Maybe I'd even over pot it, which I very seldom do.

That's extremely results oriented. Re-raising to 4.5x his raise is more than enough.

[limit refugee]

From the blind I don't think a bigger preflop raise is out of hand at all. With a minraise and a caller there's 2.75 in the pot already and both their stacks are deepish increasing their calling range. If he stopped the hand on the preflop action I'd say the same.

Interested in other opinions on this.

Is anyone calling a shove from any villain ?

Leveling?

Yeah, pot flop.

That works if you don't pot with monsters only multiway, but takes some balancing. I'd imagine it works better with a LAG strategy than a TAG one.

[Vyse]

Boards don't get much more drawy than this one. With top set I'll pot this all day long, this doesn't come up very often so villain will have no prior experience whether I pot with monsters here or not.

[catfish_01]

Hmmmm that makes sense; my cbetting is normally 2/3-3/4 with whatever holdings I have so I figure it's pretty balanced, but I can see how this is a situation where betting pot won't give away anything. Do you ever PSB w/air to chase villians out?
