Stars $50+R+A - BVB vs. busto_soon
 

Is this pretty standard? Against randoms I definitely play this different, but vs. busto I thought this got the most value and I could get him to call worse hands on the river because of the line I took.

I'm fine w/ the line, but do not know if betting flop is better.

Also, I bet more on river, your line looks weak and he will look you up real light. Make it 1500.

Isn't the point he'll look me up light?

I agree sometimes betting flop is good, but would've probably been more inclined to if it was vs. a random.

What line do you take against randoms?
