Re: Why I didn\'t raise flop
[ QUOTE ]
True, but if he has, say, A8/A7/A4, an overpair, or air (and that;s a narrow range, honestly) he's likely to bet turn if I just call. Even more true if he has 87.
My thinking may still be messed up, but I really thought the best way to build the pot was to get to the turn.

if you get to a (safe) turn, your line looks like a MONSTER.
Raising the flop doesn't, because he could put you on a flush draw, overpair, etc.
You are 250 BBs deep, and you only have 3 streets to get it in. And whatever he has, it's going to look a LOT different to him with 2 cards to come than with just one (or zero) to come. Do the math.
