<u>Reads:</u>
This is my 12th hand at the table. I don´t know the villain. He is only playing one table at a time which, in combination with his stack size, might indicate a gambler. I know full well that this is not a garanty, but there´s some good chance that it´s correct.

I probably wouldn't have bet this flop, I would just have seen what would have happened, not wanna be raised of my hand. In this case I would call like lightning, your hand is so disguised; if he has T8 so be it, but he could have slowplayed an overpair or hit a set somewhere down te road.

I'd rather raise with 35o and try to take down the dead money (unless you have a read that most of these people will call a big raise) than complete here. True, you're getting 9-1 on your money, but when you DO flop something, it's going to be the low end of something or bottom 2...plus, the non-suited one-gapper isn't really going to hit all that much. (If this were 56s, I'd definitely complete here)

IMO, this is an easy call. You will see sets/2 pair overs/FD a lot of the time here. Of course, you may also see T8, but IMO, you'll see it way less than half the time here.

I'll usually just fold here out of the SB. Turn is an easy call, sucks if he had the overstraight. I like leading out of the blinds with draws sometimes, but I don't think firing with oesd from the SB into 5 people is good.

In theory, I understand why.

In practice, they always fold when I flop the small blind special so why not here? [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I'm not a fan of completing, but that's a whole other discussion.

On the flop I probably don't bet because I don't want to get raised and someone is likely to bet anyway.

On the turn I snap call the all-in, if someone has 58 or T8 then too bad, reload. I'd say these are really low possibilities because they are trashy and also because why would he bet so much? He is more likely on a draw or has a set.

Re: NL25 non-nuts straight facing absurd overbet
 

If he has a better straight so be it. I think you have to call here. There are so many other possibilities that you are beating and as someone else mentioned....your hand is very well disguised.
