i wouldn't bet the flop. i would probably c/c down UI

or if you do bet the flop and he raises, then i'd fold the turn. depends on the player, if their flop raise will confirm they have a pair. but if it's a crazy LAG, then calling down UI is probably a better line.

What did you hope to accomplish by betting the flop?

ghcnoob · #5 05-15-2007, 03:11 AM

The flop bet is bad in retrospect. When I posted this I didn't realize he had 4-bet p/f. I was hoping to bully a fellow AK-type hand but he could 4-bet with QQ-AA and mabye JJ as well, making my donk a donkey move.

that hand is badly played > Flop bet i useless and the calldown too

Fwiw I don't mind this, you guys are really putting way too much into the preflop cap it could mean anything this is a blind battle.

TheWunderkind · #8 05-15-2007, 10:12 AM

yeah thats right > i missed that > but i still dont like the Flop bet > c/c is better vs most

Checkraise somewhere

i prefer c/c, not because i necessarily thinks he has a monster, but because i don't see what it accomplishes. if he has a worse hand, he'll never fold. but he will always bet it himself if checked to, so there's really no difference between betting and checking. but if he does have a better hand, we are getting raised.
