Oh boy!!, ATo raise

[Shalara]

I like the raise. Two random hands, only a button and 2 more random hands behind? ATo looks pretty good!

I would flat-call the flop raise, planning on raising the turn if I like it (club, A, another T), and folding to a bet if it's something I hate (like K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] or something).

<font color="purple">My thinking: I have no idea why he's raising here. Made the straight, flopped a set? Thinks I'm trying to steal his post? Raising a draw? I like my hand enough to stay in, take the chance he's got something like KT or a draw. Fat pot, too. Besides, I've taken to flat-calling stuff like that on a draw-heavy board, plannin on popping the turn. Making opponent's mistakes bigger by keeping the pot smaller on the flop, yada yada. </font>

Turn: Yeah, I like it.

River: Call me a sucker. I bet, fold to a raise. <font color="purple"> Here's what I'm thinking: Seems a flush draw is likely, given that he called a lot of raising. Still, two pair might be in there too, maybe even something like KT or A6, even AK. I am not a value-betting pro. By any means. Still, I do it here. If a lesser hand will call me, and I can safely fold to a c/r, then it looks +EV to me.</font>
