[NL50] Slowplaying vulnerable hands when nothing better calls?

[lusop]

I would raise and reraise. You have seven outs for a full house on th turn and, if you fail, you'll have 10 in the river... isn't it correct?

the first raise should be hard enough to intimidate the Ac (Sorry, I don't know how to write it graphically). How much should it be?

[Lego05]

Bet the flop....you will be called by a fairly wide wide range. Ac will almost always call, Qc will call a lot. AK can call, KQ can call, KJ might call, 54 will call, 55,44 will call, QQ and JJ might call especially if they include a club. Some of those hands may check raise you too.


You can't risk the 4th club coming down...it could beat you and even if you're still ahead after it, it will kill your action.

So bet the flop and if someone check raises you then 3bet and get it all-in.

There are definitely worse hands that call, at least at 20NL.
