mid pair in steal situation...maniac image

Casper05 · #1 02-09-2007, 04:00 AM

I just sat at the table an orbit or two ago and have raised probably half the hands so far...never been played back at yet, unfortunately for me bc I had the goods. Good spot to call down light on the turn? got lost on the river because its such a good bluff card and I wasnt really sure how much showdown value I had.

Looking back at it, maybe the BTN steal is bad bc of my image...I dunno.

What's he calling the turn with that you beat? Especially when the diamond does come. I wonder if he's hoping you bet and is waiting to pop in a c/r on the river.

Bite the bullet and check behind. There are a tonne of hands you're behind to but the question is, what can you get him to fold that he's already called two near-pot bets with?

If you think you are behind, bet. If you think you have the best hand I would just check.
