Default Re: 265bb deep 50/100 hu hand

I don't like this. Based on the size of the pot heading into the flop, it will take a sequence of 4 increasingly sized bets to get all the money in. Options: 3 on flop + 1 on turn, 2 on flop + 2 on turn, or 1 on flop + 3 on turn. We must be very careful to prevent exactly 3 increasingly sized bets at the end of the turn since villain has position (and allows him to play the river perfectly & profitably).

I love the flop bet. If he raises, we either 3-town it now and get all the money in on the turn or c/r the turn (depending on which line is more likely to work for this particular villain). However, since he just called the flop bet, we should lead out on the turn to guarantee that exactly 2 or 4 bets make it into the pot (since we push if he raises the turn). If he just flat-calls the turn, oh well, he just doesn't have the hand we can stack him with.

But, then again, I never play NL this high.
