50NL- 44 Flops a Full House

[Abdullaev]

I agree that reraising the flop seems like the better play, but is the alternative that much worse? I don't think that occasionally calling and then checking the turn is out of the question because as pointed out an 8 is going to get the money in at some point anyway, and by calling and checking the turn, you at least give villain a chance to put in more money with a hand that might've folded to your flop reraise. More of a question than an observation.

I've kind of come to the conclusion that it doesn't really matter what we do. Most plays are going to end up at the same place.

As it happens, I called and then donked the turn for a little over half the pot. He called, which set up a nice PSB for the river, which he folded to. I probably made a little bit more than re-raising the flop, but who knows- he might have called out of spite and gotten stacked. Hard to tell.

I think this hand may help me deal with re-raises better when c-betting, but time will tell.

On thing for sure- I make a lot more with this hand if I'm in position.
