this is a post to check my line gained most value or if there are slightly beta alternatives

What's the buyin? At low buyins, sometimes wrong is right and pushing once it gets back to you may be the best way to maximize value here.

looks good...check raising flop may work but probably best to weak lead as you did...

karlwig · #6 09-21-2007, 05:17 PM

This is fine, except bet more on the flop, 800-1100.

Ummm... so your suggesting that he bet 800 of his remaining 1100 chips? Please no.

On the flop I'll sometimes check here. This is a reasonably safe flop and at this point I'd be deciding that I'm not going to worry about draws and simply try to find a way to get everyone's chips in the middle. If you bet, you might fold out hands like AK/AQ that may lead out if you check. If you happen to have run into a TT, then that sucks but you're gonna go broke here anyway.

1/3 pot bet = bad.
Just shove it all in, and if they call you, great.

Check also = very very very bad.
You want to give free cards OOP against 2 players when you have AA in a huge pot and your stack is almost exactly the size of the pot? Do you not like money?

really? checking this flop after 4-betting UTG into 2 people? i shove this flop and expect to be called in at least 1 spot, maybe both.
