FT Hand Sanity Check

i actually think the flop raise is pretty money.

Yeah.. I liked it too. I think I'd make it 9k here regardless of stacks, but with stacks, I think it's pretty necessary because I want to discourage him from pushing back with a draw.

it gets the dude to fold air, and since he's never folding a T or a Q or a draw anyway, is cheap for us.

I think lots of players, including this one, bet/fold a T here. I don't think this specific guy would've lead a Q, 'cause he knows I'm betting if he checks.

I mean.. I was calling a river bet.

The only reason I considered betting the river was because I think he folds almost 100% of the time, and occasionally he has a T with a flush draw or a flush draw that paired the turn and has me kickered. But, I guess the odds that he played a Q or a set like this are greater than the odds that he has one of those hands.




Edit: This is an FT (I think the first hand, actually)... you can get away with betting a lot less at FTs, especially when you're showing strength against a guy who's showing weakness and stacks are so clearly in play.

unless this guy is a pretty big cs, I raise flop pretty much always, and uh let me check stacks and pot, ya I push turn. I don't think giving up on the turn is good. Once you checked turn, you blew any chance of having a line that makes sense for a hand that beats one he might fold, so check behind.

I would fold to the flop bet. On a QTx board, he has a pair or draw.
