Default Re: NL25 - Top straight on drawy board

I check behind here. Are you committed to the pot? Who is more likely to get broke by checking? What about betting? If we bet 1/2 pot we are committing 1/3 of our stack and we commit ourselves.

What is UTG's range? JJ-AA, AKs, AK, and possible AQs. UTG bets strong on the flop representing a TPTK, an overpair, or a set. If he is tricky enough he might also make a strong continuation bet w/ AK [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. MP could have just about anything.

Be ready for the bet that is coming from UTG on the river. You induced this bluff, so be prepared to call at least a 1/2 pot bet.
