Default Re: Interesting hand against Nam Lee in Shooting Stars

Well, checking may have been the best line, but my thinking was

If he had 2 pair he would have checked
If he had a pair less than an ace he would bet
If he had nothing he would check
If he had an ace small he would bet
If he had an ace large he would check

My thinking:

I desperately wanted to accumulate more chips. 6 handed with 2K chips eaten up every hand is scary when you are the smallest stack at the table
I had been lucky most of the times I employed my "pro" strategy
If another heart came, I wouldn't get many more chips from him
He may have missed the flop altogether and a 2/3 pot sized bet would win it right there

So I decided to bet 30K.

After thinking for a bit, he calls.

Turn card is 6s. Pot is now 100,500.

Nam checks.

I have 95k left.

My move?
