I had a big stack at this table, and had won every time I showed down.
I had been stealing quite a bit. Didn't have much on the villain at the time, but he ended up being 17/3.75/0.53. Assume I knew that at the time, would you guys push this as hard? I didn't put him on the straight at all, I had him on overpair or set.

Standard, good for metagame.

I like it if you would also play a set like this sometimes

Jurrr · #5 04-02-2007, 07:22 AM

Actually, that would be standard for sets IMHO on this board as well.

I don't know man. He raised the dangerous board after your continuation bet. Not much you beat. So, when you re-raise him what is he folding there? Not folding a set. Not folding a str8t. I would have put him on a set there as well. So, you are basically hoping he folds a set to your reraise which we know he's not going to do. Your draw needs to get there so you are drawing to 9 outs. I'm not sure I like your reraise there in that spot. Especially if you put him on a set. I'm guessing he insta-called like within 2 seconds?

What is standard here? Why not call all the way to the river if Villain is willing to bet all streets?
What was the turn and river cards?

Simple question for you.

Why is betting more +EV, in general, than check calling?
