I think it is ok unless randal thinks you are crazy. The reason I don't like it is becase you have to fold if he shoves. I definalty like a raise more than a call here but I usually just fold. Because you aren't unknown it makes it a little easier for him to see through this as hands other than 7x but it puts him in a tough spot OOP with akward stack sizes behind because it sets him up for a tough spot on the river if he calls or else a shove will most likely not be paid off by worse hands.

do you know that he should be two barreling this board with an extremely low frequency? does he know that you know that?

Bakes · #4 09-05-2007, 04:09 AM

I think this is bad, if he has a draw or a T there are much more profitable ways for him to play it imo. I think this is a 7 or air every time, I would probably call.

If I were villain, I wouldn't fold a T in this spot. I wouldn't fold a 7 either.

Your raise is way too small.

I agree with ae and bakes.

I was about to say I'd auto raise that flop.

Turn looks like a pretty bad spot to play back.

I only like the small raise if we're planning to shove any river (and it seems like you set up perfect stacks for it). I don't, however, like shoving the river in general so I'd much rather just raise bigger in the first place if we're going to raise at all. I don't, however, like raising the turn instead of the flop though. What's weird is, this is how I would play complete air sometimes (float flop, bet/raise turn), but your hand is better than complete air.
