I don't mind raising, as it'll drive out SB and get you HU with position on BB.

yeah the debate here is obviously whether to call or raise.

the big issue with a raise, atleast for me at the time, was that i had no info on him once someone showed resistance. i know he was taking stabs at pots, but i dont know if i raise here how often he'll 3 bet me big on a bluff and put me to the test. and he's the type who will double barrel, so obviously that benefits a call.

i dont think raising here is bad, though, and id love to here more responses on the pros and cons of each.

Well - wouldn't you rather find out how he handles resistance NOW rather than later when it's more expensive?...

Your hand is just NOT strong enough to allow for multi-way action, sB may come along with a variety of holdings if we just call, so I say raise.

I think this is a pretty easy raise.

We don't have a hand yet. We have a GREAT draw, but nothing made. Raise it to about 800-1k and if you get re-raised I would repop it to 3x his bet or just push. If you don't get any action that is also good as like I said before, we don't have a made hand yet.

If SB calls we have more $ in the pot and more players for when we hit our draw. Is that a bad thing?

But I agree it might be better to see where we are at now rather than on the turn.

Not necessarily, given that you have position throughout the hand. It does make the turn a little trickier to play, but that's action-dependent.

If SB has two bigger diamonds it is a very bad thing....

Is he folding two big diamonds to a raise? I think he'd probably gamble 750-1k with a 15k stack with overcards and a nice flush draw.

Then again, my read on his was tight, unimaginative, so its tough. He might fold it, I'm not sure.

Wouldn't he be more likely to go for a c/r, given action thus far in the hand?

If his call was closing the action he would call for sure but with BB still to act I really think a tight/unimaginative player would find a fold there especially if he doesn't have the Ace - I could be very wrong though

From my read on him he would definitley be on the fence with a KdJd type of hand. I'm leaning towards believing hed fold it, but its not a strong lean. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

BTW, I'll post the turn action in a little bit.

Edit: So do we all agree that if re-raised by BB that this is an automatic 4-bet?
