opinions about a 2-5 nl hand at the borgata yesterday
been playing for 45 minutes-all junk starting hands.Finally get 88 in late position.Early position solid player raises $20 - 2 callers -I call.
Flop comes j 8 6 rainbow. Raiser bets $35 other player folds and I call. A on turn. early player bets $55, I make it $155 to go, he shoves. I have $550,he has me covered. I call - he turns over AA- river is a blank. I think I played it right,but was destined to be stacked. I put him on AA,KK QQ AJ JJ AK. So I could beat all of his hands except AA or JJ. Thoughts and opinions? |

Not raising the flop makes me jdgghhglasgh. The rest is painfully standard

C'est la vie. Not much you can do... I don't think so anyway...

What would a flop raise accomplish?
I felt my hand was strong enough to afford a slowplay.
Also I was afraid a flop raise could cripple my chances of g etting a call on a large turn raraise. |

If you want to 'win a g' you gotta start getting villians chips in the middle sooner rather than later. |

Don't you think I would have a better chance of getting more of villians chips with a big turn reraise?
A flop raise may make him suspicious of a set and cause a check/fold to a large turn bet. Appreciate your input. |

Re: What would a flop raise accomplish?
I think calling the flop and raising the turn looks a lot stronger than simply raising the flop.
I don't think we have to necessarily bomb the flop...I think a smallish raise to $90-$100 will string him along and build the pot so its easier to get chips in the middle on later streets. |
