How would you of played it....

I'm wondering if I should of just pushed PF as the original raise cost me 1/4 of my stack and the c-bet really left in bad bad shape anyway...


Villian up to this point has been kind of tight...

Maybe a little early to push 13BBs but you could've rasied to 250 and saved yourself a few chips. The CBet was probably a bad idea as this board hits a lot of the SB's range. Was any of your betting done with a plan or did you bet becuase it was folded to you in the CO and the Cbet because you raised PF?

I bet based on a combination of factors... But the 2 you mentioned were probally the main reasons
The PF raise
The Checked flop



No I had no pre thought plan about either bet... [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Although I did originally bet 3x in hopes of just taking it right there... So maybe there was some planning.. I really didnt want any calls and thought that would do it...

been there... sucks(edit: sucks as in i want to puke when the c/r comes)... i don't mind the play.

It helps to have noticed whether or not the BB was a folder or defender.

The sb was definetely tight and I fairly sure the bb was also... 2x they might of called

I think I would have played it about the same (which should worry you a bit, BTW), although I agree with gunshow that raising 2.5X and C-Betting 50% would have saved you 100-150 chips for the same result.

Pushbot table says that a push pre is +EV, so it doesn't seem out of line to play the hand, and 13BB seems borderline too deep to push (although I wouldn't hate a push here).

As to the C-Bet, all the signs seem positive: your raise could certainly represent an A, and there's all kinds of stuff SB could call with getting 1.6:1 that doesn't include an A. So following a check from SB, is it at least 33% likely (% needed for +EV with 50% C-Bet) that your C-Bet will take down the pot? I would think so.
