Live 5/5 game, semi deep.

[RERAISE5823]

1K max buy in 5/5 game live. Couple players making it an action game. Effective stacks for the hand is $2200

I'm on button with 7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

straddle to ten, raise to 25, 3 calls to me, I call, SB calls and BB makes it 160 straight. All fold to me, I call and SB folds (which I didn't think he would, like...ever).

Flop is 5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

BB is solid, capable of moves and laydowns. He's not likely to reraise with anything other than JJ, QQ, KK, AA, AKs in this spot because he definitely expects callers as in this game it rarely goes less than 4 to the flop.

BB bets $250

Hero ????

Hmm... u kinda overcalled preflop. I guess with ur stack ur implied odds were good tho. He bet 250... looks like he has pretty big hand (AK or AA, maybe even KK cuz its slightly weakish). I think flatcall here is best, especialy since u have position with good stacks. If you raise, b/c his bet looks like he's rele strong and will shove in if raised (~1/2 pot), or smoothcall and trap the hell outta u, esp if u miss.

against described villain i'm raising this up for sure - unless i've been caught out of line a lot.

dude will not get 200 BB in w one pair and 55/66 makes sense for you. if he calls then he has KK like 85% of the time, so take the freebie unless you hit.

I understand your point, and don't necessarily disagree. He "should" fold a lot of hands in theory to a raise, but that doesn't mean he'll fold and he very well could push me in. He's not scared money in the least.

Also, he won't smoothcall with KKK and probably not AA either which makes it very hard to raise and expect to see a turn card. He'll either fold, or he'll repop me and I'll be in a bad spot.

With regards to your "don't be an idiot" remark, I believe I gave that poster exactly the level of reply he deserved. His post was meaningless, and in addition, bad advice. Being the big stake player you are, you know this is true.

i think we have way more FE if we smoothcall the flop and raise any non-A turn. that looks much stronger.

[RERAISE5823]

If a raise is proper, what size is optimal? If I raise and am pooooshed upon, calling seems horrible, no?
