How insane is this?

Crypto 100NL 6M

Effective stack are $105 I cover

My image is that of an insane maniac, I raise like 35% and I ram and jam a lot of flops / turns - Only thing they have see so far, is me not making the nut str draw + 2nd nut fd with KJs

I'm CO with 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], and as usual I raise it up to take it down right there or on the flop. I make it $3

BTN calls, SB folds, BB calls.

Pot is $9 and the flop is 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

BB checks, I bet $5, BTN calls, SB makes it $15, I make it $45, BTN folds, BB pushes and I make the call.

I'm thinking that I flopped a monster draw here, and that he is making a stand with some over pair or maybe 2 pair or maybe even a set. A better FD is not likely, but I fear it somewhat.

So how insane am I ?

(Edit:Got the flop wrong, the 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] was a 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img])

edit b/c of the changed flop:

A case can be made for pushing and calling

I still think you lack fold equity in this situation so I may be tempted to just call the 15 and look to get aggressive on a good turn card...pushing isnt all that bad either

I got the flop wrong the first time around, have a second look

So the flop was a 3c or 4c?

TheMuppet · #5 07-25-2006, 01:29 PM

4c

If you wanted to take it down right there or on the flop, why the tiny bets? That makes less sense to me than anything else.

At any rate, props for AF on that flop. Wow.

If I choose to three-bet here (and I would a significant amount of the time), I'd push. The way you played it, getting around 3-1 on the call I think I'd call. If nothing else, showing this hand will probably get me lots of action for the next hour (during which I'd tighten up).

This is the kind of board you want without actually flopping it. When he re-pops you, you want to just call the 15. I don't have a problem with you getting it in here, but I would reevaluate with what the turn brings.

TheMuppet · #9 07-25-2006, 01:35 PM

Because I want them to raise me, and I more or less always 1/2 pot it.

Get out of this trend, and move more toward always 3/4ths pot or full potting it. It will make later, bigger decisions easier for you. Half-pot bets get lots of callers, and it's often hard as hell to read what they have.
