Default Re: Live 40/80 TT on button, tough flop spot.


I like betting the flop because checking feels really lame. I think it is worth one small bet to isolate the all-in and pervent the other player from outdrawig me for free or bluffing me out on the turn. There is plenty of chance that the all in player has total gas.

I suspect the presence of an all-in player makes betting the turn unwise.
Betting the turn is a marginal play if the BB had simply folded the flop, so
betting now seems spewy. Especially since the SB should be caling with fewer hands on the flop due to the all in player.

I'm not sure if I call a river bet. The SB shouldn't be an a raw bluff since the BB would presumably win the main pot.

Change this to a situation where the BB folds and I bet the turn if and only if I pick up some kind of straight draw or a set. Otherwise I check the turn, planning to call a river bet. I think people will try to pick off an abandoned pot often enough here to justify a call. On the other hand, I dont like to bet a flop, check the turn and then fold if I have any sort of hand.
