Read the context of the earlier posts.

I don't think your cold call strikes fear in any typical MTT player.

This is a pretty high stakes tourney against decent competition. Rest assured that I wouldn't think that my call would strike fear into players at some Party MTT. But at this table, I'm pretty sure that my call did. Anyway, on to the next part....

Is this a joke? It's been two month since you started the post. We're on pace to hit the river in 2008.

So I call. As I already explained, I thought that the min. raise of a tricky player combined with an EP call of a good player was enough to scare anyone from raising without a monster, so I was essentially doing the same thing as calling from LP since I didn't really fear a re-raise.

Guy in LP is probably one of the weaker players at the table- not because he is reckless, but because he is very predictable. I talked to him before the tourney and found out that he had won his way in through a sattlite and had never played at anywhere near these stakes. And it showed. He was pretty much playing straightforward ABC poker. Pretty much you could believe his bets for what they represented, and you could push him off a marginal hand easily. He called the bet of 400.

Everyone else folds to the SB. SB was just moved to the table, so I have no reads on him. He calls for 300 more.

BB was a guy who mixed up his play a lot. I thought I had a read on how he acted when he bluffed. Twice I saw him make big bets in fairly standard bluff situations, and both times he would do the classic increased blink rate tell. Once, he was called and it was indeed a bluff. The other time, the guy didn't call him. Now I'm not that great at reading tells, so I don't rely upon these too much, but it was somewhat noteworthy imo. He called for 200 more.

Flop comes 2-7-J rainbow with one club.

SB checks. Now as I said, I hadn't seen him play. But I was 90% sure that the flop missed him and that he was pretty much through with the hand now. Can't really pinpoint why, but it was just a quick "I don't care" check that didn't seem to be acting to me.

BB checks...no real read on him still.

EP raiser checks! I have absolutely no clue what he may have. I think he is one of those guys who may be too tricky for his own good type of people, so I'm still not ruling out AA or KK here.

LP guy is still to act behind you.

Your move.

I'm not sure what the flop is, but I'm interpreting that it completely missed you. In that case, check.

I guess I'll wait 2 more months for the next chapter of this book. The suspense is killing me.

Sorry for being unclear- I edited to make it better.

The flop is 2-7-J rainbow with one diamond.

you knw you have diamonds right?

but uh, i say bet out 1k, if Lp raises you you can just get out, and if you get called you can pick up some draws on the turn that you could semibluff (should look like a set). (oh and i assumed you meant 1 diamond on the flop, or, tht we actually have clubs)

Holy [censored]...sorry guys, its late and I'm at the end of a long up and down session.

THE FLOP CAME 2-7-J WITH ONE DIAMOND.

I don't know why it was seemingly so hard for me to get that right, lol. I edited my one post but the other one(the long one where I explain the flop and opponent's actions) I could no longer edit so it remains incorrect.
