KJs live 1/2: TP bet sizing

[feelixthegreek]

Did you consider c/r ing flop? From your profile of him, it seem like a bet from the button is inevitable, and you increase the chances of getting it heads up by squeezing out the cold caller or defining his hand. (As it happens, he folded anyway, but still.)

A flop c/r will increases your chances of taking the pot down with a thin holding and mitigates your poor position on later streets.

That's not a bad idea and I thought about it briefly.

I don't consider my holding to be relatively thin until I get some information about the other players' reactions. However if I c/r (potsize to $80+) I'm not leaving myself an opportunity to get away from the hand on the flop, esp. with TPGK+gutshot and half my stack in the pot.

Betting out squeezed the player in between from calling with a marginal hand and made absolutely sure it didn't get checked through.
So given that I decided to bet, what do you think of the bet sizes?

I don't play enough at Foxwoods to know how bet sizes are interpreted, but I would have led for a hair more, like $30. That way when I flop huge and want to bet big my bet size will be similar.

But since you're posting from Providence, let me give you some actual useful advice: eat Caserta Pizza on the Hill.
