Pretty clear that you should bet here, probably around $2222ish for the optimal line.

I've thought of posting a hand in this manner, because that is the way Harrington presents it. Sometimes I am unsure about decisions I have made on multiple streets.

But I think a time period of 2 days would be sufficient to get enough constructive responses. Stretching it out over 2 years only introduces a lot of noise.

I think I might be tempted to bet around 1/2 the pot here on the river. No-one seems to have shown any interest in it and I can't see someone slowplaying all 3 streets. You are getting 2-1 on your bluff and it's not a disaster if you get called.

Regarding the Sklansly comment you linked, I disagree with him. I think you should only be thinking about randomizing your play when you are playing against (or are going to be playing against) the same opponents over a long period of time.

Harrington gave a rule of thumb, something like your stack has to be more than 24 times the cost of entering the pot to play a speculative hand like a small pocket pair to make up for all the times it misses or you have to throw it away to a raise, etc. I don't remember, though, if he was talking about playing it from EP.

Your stack is over 40x the bet (as is the mini-raiser's), so calling is OK for a skilled player, but folding is OK too. I am not that skilled a player, so I would fold.

Flop and turn, I would check for reasons many others have stated, so I won't further comment on that.

Wow, this thread is awesome! At this point I'd guess it checks around on the river, EP raiser turns up 3-3 while everyone else mucks with Hero kicking himself for never having taken a stab at it.

Just a guess, but maybe the forum split since your original post in March 2006.

Correct.

OP, please stop seeking advice and opinions on this hand. Just say what happened on the river, who showed what, etc., etc. It's really not even that interesting of a hand. Definitely NOT2-years worthy.
