NL 400: Flop goot vs bad player.

[DjSkyy]

Raise flop and keep raising until you beat his chips into the pot allin.

As played, i'd call turn, and call again on river or bet 1/2 pot if checked to.

I like to call the flop. I think raising defines our hand more as a big ace and might let him get away on the turn or river when we show strength again. Most people are playing Ax for stacks here, so I like calling down and letting them give us their chips.

As played, call turn, value bet/raise river.

If the turn bet were smaller, like 1/3 pot, I'd think he was blocking trying to get a cheap draw and I'd raise that. But, what's with the notion that if he has diamonds, we *must* raise to kill his odds? He's already made a 2/3 pot bet and we have outs to a FH, so why "blow him out of the water" as Sklansky would say. If there were multiple players, I'd be more prone to raise.

Also, someone mentioned that raising helps balance our raise bluffs. I suppose that's true. I also think that calling the flop helps disguise our slow plays/floats/small pairs here.

call flop call turn raise river if the board still looks good

flop is a bluff to much for raising to be the best play.

It does suck when he has diamonds though.

26/10/3 is a fairly aggressive player. He bet into you when you had a large pre-flop raise. I like the call on the flop. 2 options with you are both ok now also. If you call, he'll probably bet the river for you and you can raise (assuming a blank). If you throw in a raise now, beat him into the pot when he reraises you all in.
