He makes it $120. Can I call thinking he is raising for free showdown?

I don't really donk the turn as much with ATo. I dont see many worse hands calling. Plus, I think that a very common line with many hands in this spot is to bet/fold the turn, and if your opponent realizes this, he can raise the turn alot, especially given the room with stack sizes. I typically check the turn and probably call one more street.

No! You've been playing limit hold'em or something?

I've also been experimenting with minraising as my standard open.

ALso minbetting on multiple streets.

why bet so much on the turn?

orange · #27 05-29-2007, 05:46 PM

what do people think about turning our hand into a complete bluff by shoving the turn? (after he raises).

Bukem_ · #28 05-29-2007, 05:48 PM

Yeah, after looking at the hand I agree its probably a bit too much. I can never get a decent draw out, and don't need to bloat the pot so much.

Yup, I've started check/calling flops and donking turns with sets for precisely this reason.

I did consider making it $320 or something like that for a second, but really what am i folding that is beating me. I don't think I would have to raise any more than that, my results should be the same vs this guy.
