Re: Bet into on flop with top pair not great kicker?
 

I don't mind raising or calling the flop bet, the river is an easy call

Re: Bet into on flop with top pair not great kicker?
 

If you have seen him semi-bluff this way and he prolly would play a set this way I'd call ATW, river is esp easy.

I think ur play is fine, you called and he flipped up aces? =)

Alright so I called (honestly I snap called because I was almost sure he was betting a missed draw) and he flipped over Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] for trips, he just got lucky as [censored]. But I think I could have raised somewhere, probably flop but thanks for all the responses and help, you guys are great!

You raise flop, villain shoves. Call?

Call down. Get shown something dumb like KT.

Re: Bet into on flop with top pair not great kicker?
 

You really think he shoves on you on that flop often enough without the goods to make that play profitable for him?

I think you are underestimating the texture of the flop, or atleast our relative strength in accordance to it......hint....not all draws are created equal.
