[flawless_victory]

obvious bet on the turn. threebetting the river is even more obvious. the only question is whether to fivebet if he raises...

[flawless_victory]

he probably has nine-ten

[jkamowitz]

I figured he had to have 910. . .that or a really risky raise with qk or the like. I three bet and he raised me back and I called. He showed A /images/graemlins/diamond.gif8 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif and took it down.

This is not a bitching story but I wanted to know if my thoughts were right and the three bet was good. Thanks.

easy 3-bet it would seem. Bet the turn.

I don't think I'm big enough to take two nuts in the backdoor.
