2/4NL - Shot-taking, BvB and a raunchy river
 

2/4NL 6-max, taking a shot due to peer pressure although it's an awful table to take a shot on. Two guys are 5/10 regulars sitting with $1400 each. Villain is in BB with $1100, and I've never seen him in any cash games on this site (I've played just about everything besides 3/6 and 5/10NL). No reads on that guy and I have $392 after posting my SB.

Folds to me and I raise $18 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Villain calls.

Flop 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

I bet $30, Villain calls.

Turn 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

I bet $80, Villain calls.

I check, Villain quickly bets pot for $250, I?

Standard call because he obviously can read my mind that I'm shot-taking and is therefore bluffing?

ugh, looks like a flush a lot. porbably had a flush and pr or str8draw on turn. fold is fine.

btw if you are taking a shot i like buying in for a little less. try 250-300. it is a very comfortable size. the bigger stacks cant out play you and you can easily comitt your hcips against LAPs

Well when I say "take a shot", I mean mix in one higher-limit table with my other ones, not playing 4-5 tables with max buy-ins spread across or anything.

And credit to those who can short-stack well, I'd feel like a big floppy vagina doing that, I save my fear for clowns and anteaters, not poker players
