Default Re: Stars $22: spewy in BvB

What was the objective of the PF raise and your plan if called/reraised?

Not withstanding Villian's reads on YOUR play...(and no reads on villian) lets assume straight up play

Obviously its a steal (from your perspective), so you should size your bet so it "looks" like a standard bet. In this case 250 is standard (2.5 X BB), as many have suggested in this thread. That way your cbet looks legitimate such as a connected J. As said previously with 250 your raise is smaller, your cbet smaller, therefore less damage if you need to fold to the resteal OR if you are truly beaten.

As played it "looks" to villian like an overraise/steal attempt with garbage, and i'm suprised the short stacked villian did'nt jam.

Unless I have a very tight image I fold here preflop. If villian was loose/passive, a limp and check it down may work, as RexWoo indicated. If he was tight/passive your steal likley would have worked.
