Bet $300

We're never considering a fold here, right?

ArturiusX · #4 04-19-2007, 02:48 AM

I hate betting.

MrPapaGiorgio · #5 04-19-2007, 02:50 AM

This is really a great flop for your hand. Bet $300 and you will likely get action from TT, JJ or QQ or possibly even a lower pair. Under no circumstances would I fold here if you're raised. AK is unlikely and it's the only hand you're losing to.

check. do not fold.

MrPapaGiorgio · #7 04-19-2007, 02:51 AM

I don't see why you'd want to give a free card here. You are getting action with a big pair on that flop if you bet 1/2-3/4 of the pot.

ArturiusX · #8 04-19-2007, 02:52 AM

And we'll get action when he checks through the turn with those hands, and we can vb him to look like a bluff.

MrPapaGiorgio · #9 04-19-2007, 02:54 AM

MAYBE check on the flop if you have position to induce a bluff on the turn. But if he checks behind, you have to bet the turn. You just gave him a chance to catch up, plus you missed a bet. I wouldn't get too cute with this hand.

If he bets the flop, you can call. I think he'll check behind on the turn and you can value-bet the river.

Leading the flop will only get action from the hands you're losing to unless he turns his hand into a bluff (QQ/JJ). Regardless, it's going to be difficult to get his entire stack .
