BB has $70. Your goal should be to take it all this hand.

What do you think he has? Unless you strongly believe he flopped a straight you really should get more agressive on the turn/riv.

wierd bets. i like it. i suspect villian has medium PP like 77-TT. Maybe 78 or something but calling down is fine.

I think you played it right. Reraising=too much risk here.

[Spade_K]

Pot the Flop, Re-pot the Turn, Push the River.

the only plac i could find a raise was the river. If the river had come lower than that K, i might have raised. But he lead for 1/2 the pot so hes not calling a raise with anything we beat.

I strongly disagree. What about the times he has an OESD on the turn? TT, JJ, 22? turn bet looks like a weak attempt to steal from you because he thinks the board didnt hit you. Its a weird play but it happens. Raising somewhere in there has got to be more +EV than the call down approach. You have the best starting hand in holdem and the board is bascially perfect.

Tickner, your right, he is probably betting with a worse hand. So why would you want to scare him off?

also, by raising, you have to fold to a 3 bet on the turn. which makes calling down more idea. imo.

If you have a set and he has a flush draw, why on earth would you want to scare him off by giving him incorrect odds to call?

i dont think he has a FD here. im putting villian on a PP, maybe A8/7. You might be able to stack TT but the risk that he was a set made a str8 and having him 3bet the turn is an ugly and you want to get to SD.
