This is my usual reraise size, making it incorrect for smaller pairs to call me. (I think)

MP2 checks, Hero checks.

I hit the flop, and get checked to. I figure villain's range is JJ+/AQ+ (maybe TT, not sure). I check behind, planning to c/r a blank turn. I'll win a bet from JJ/QQ/KK and maybe get AQ to call, thinking I'm bluffing.



Turn: ($7.85) 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Villain makes a pretty big fooking bet on turn, and I raise as planned. Villain thinks for a moment and calls and I'm expecting to see (in order of likelihood) AK/AQ/KK/QQ/TT/JJ

<font color="#CC3333">MP2 bets $7</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $21.15</font>, MP2 calls $14.15.

Final Pot: $50.15

Was my plan okay? Not that I usually post results, but villain showed down 77 and I'm wondering if my pfr raise ensure he was making a mistake by calling.

[TRWIII]

Your raise PF was enough. He wasn't getting good enough implied odds to setmine here. That being said, while I understand your check behind on the flop, I'm betting that flop darn near every time. There are a good number of turn cards that I dont want to see at all, and I'm gonna be happy winning a smallish pot with TPTK right now.

lol bet the damn flop

[Steelerman]

Your pfr looks fine. With the 2 limpers though I usually make this $4 here but whatever. I bet this flop virtually always.

[MadMike]

PFR is fine.

Bet the flop, another diamond either beats you or kills your action. Also good for your cbets if you bet the goods.

[crazymoose]

I would usually bet the flop here b/c people w/KK and QQ sometimes find a hero call but if you think they'll go with ya this line is fine too.

[Albino Lobster]

Agreeing that I'm pretty much always betting this flop.

[TheBad]

I don´t like the turnraise. Hands like JJ are never calling but an aggro player might fire again on the river with a worse hand.

[Chargers In 07]

I don't like the way you played this hand, but I don't think it's bad either.

[PhOENiX_111]

ya...bet 5.5 on the flop.
u should know that ur turn raise looks much stronger than just betting. its gonna fold out AQ for sure.
