Play a hand with me (NLTRN)

[chrismystero]

I'm saying check here. I have a feeling that a lot of people are going to say bet, but personally when I have a draw to the nuts where I'd have to fold to a check-raise, I like to check behind.

If I'm checked to again on the turn here, I probably bet a lot of cards. If he bets the turn, well, I'd have to know the card...

We're probably going to lose him here, but I think I push, since any smaller raise is probably going to commit us anyway.

[daveT]

I am leaning toward a smaller raise. I would like to get some value out of this hand. The opponent is playing weak thus far, and he will be more likely to call/ shove to a smaller bet.

[TNixon]

I was torn between something like 250-300 and pushing, and decided on pushing because it's going to look weaker to most opponents, so I think we're more likely to get value out of a T or another K that way. Especially since there are SOO many cards that can come off on the turn that will scare off everything except hands that have us crushed.

[daveT]

I was thinking of shoving as an option as well. He isn't likely to fold any kind of draw, and if he is donking into us, I would think he is on a draw. 75 looks suspiciously like a blocking bet, so we should charge him without giving him the correct price to draw. I guess if he isn't folding, then we basically have him crushed if we shove, for the most part. The problem with this hand is the size of the bet, and that doesn't convince me that all the scare cards on the turn mean anything to us, and I doubt that they will mean much to the villain here, but over-shoving is going to take away any value we may receive from Ts and whatever else he has. I am more than happy to set up for a shove on the turn right now. Dromar under-bet on purpose so we can all argue about it.

275

300. I would push if I had a draw here. Now I want him to call or push over. A lot of villains think they have fold equity if you raise to 300.

Anyone else have trouble making posts yesterday?
