Default Re: 25c/50c NLO8 turn decision

Chucky - I would raise all-in on the third betting round. Ideally you scoop without contest. If you get called, so be it. You may already have a lock on high and you still have 10 scoop outs plus 5 half pot outs (the low diamonds).

(I wouldn't count the 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] one way or the other - or maybe count it the same as a half pot out. Doesn't matter because you're not figuring odds here anyway.)

Your bet here is a sort of semi-bluff, but not exactly, since you do have the top two pairs.

Anyone for raising the flop? Or do we not have enough info/a strong enough hand?

[/ QUOTE ]Not me. You don't leave yourself enough to make it tough on your opponents on the third betting round if you raise on the second. In other words, your stack is not big enough to raise on both the second and third betting rounds.
