when someone reraises pf and then checks the flop i think most players can smell the slowplay a mile away. i don't think either of the other players are putting more chips in unless they make a hand that beats you, e.g. a set. so you're really only giving them a chance to draw out. bet for value and hope a donkey plays back at you.

I agree. You bet here and hope someone with PP sticks around.

I think the better question is how do you encounter resistance here? If someone sees you as tight, and views the re-raise pre-flop as a big hand (QQ+), they most certainly push with 67 or 78 here.

What is you move if pushed here?

I dont think we can be worrying about villain having a 7 here. the small % of the time that he does have a 7 will be more than compensated by the times that he will show resistance w/ his pocket pair even tho he thinks you may have a big hand, b/c he prolly put u on AK

I haven't read except the title and this response and while I agree instinctively, I'm going to read the post, responses and then play Devil's advocate if I possibly can because dogma is bad.

Likewise: "I'd rather cut off my own balls than min-raise" - looks good on a t-shirt and makes me laugh but perhaps not the best way to consider the intricacies of the game.

Edit: Um, the answer is no.

I have them crushed about 90% of the time if they move in on me, instacall. But, now looking at my bet size I'm a little pissed. Probably should have just pushed, but I didn't want to maximize FE, I want to maximize value. Maybe a value raise here would be more appropriate. Something in the 250-300 range. I know it's under betting the pot, but if I can get one caller I think it would be worth it, esp when I'm most likely a 80%+ favorite.

No need to slowpay here, make a bet if someone has 88+ they will likely push anyway. I don't see an easy way to fold this hand if you lead out strong post flop.
