Acting on a tell in a big pot
2 terrible limpers and I raise red JJ from the HJ. Bad/loose/passive/gambler cold calls from the Button, SB folds, BB calls, limpers call.
5 to the flop of: K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Checked to me and I bet. Button asks the dealer if it was checked to him, dealer has to point to my bet, then he just calls. A friend of mine who's been playing poker for a living for a long time once said this is one of the most reliable indications of strength. 2 players over-call. Turn blanks off. Checked to me and I bet intending to insta-fold if the button raises. Pot is too big and our information is too unreliable to run another line, right?

Re: Acting on a tell in a big pot
I would check behind... don't know what 3 people are drawing to on a KK5 board. Probably not all to the flush. why bet if you know he is going to c/r and you are going to fold. Go for a free jack then.

I think I'd fold the turn if button raises even without any sort of tell. [/ QUOTE ] My line here is usually fold, sometimes call depending on people and table conditions. But that's besides the point.

Say villian has a 'strength tell' on the river when I make two pair. Maybe I call his bet instead of raising. But there is no way I'm folding regardless of what he does.

Re: Acting on a tell in a big pot
I'm not sure how reliable a tell this is from someone who probably isn't paying attention to the game anyway. I don't think we should lean too heavily on the "information" when making a decision, especially in a pot this big.

Re: Acting on a tell in a big pot
villain is anxious to get money in on the flop.
there's a sliver of indication when he asks if it's on him. it's unconscious on his part, but should be evident to you he's ready to put in some action. bet/fold on the turn is fine.
