Obviously, but how much?

probably in the range of 120-160. i don't want anyone drawing to the flush with the proper odds and i also don't want to give an ace a cheap shot at the 4.

I bet 180. Decent?

i think it's a little on the large side. you don't mind some action here, you just want to bet enough so that if someone one a club draw calls you, they're doing so with the wrong odds.

[/ QUOTE ]I think that's not enough. I make a pot-sized bet here, actually. Maybe a little less but 1/3 of the pot just begs to get called or raised. Then what?

ah, i didn't take into account the blinds and the 30 dead chips from UTG+1. with 275 in the pot instead of 200, i think 180 is about right and I'd probably even bet a bit more, maybe around 200.

if you're ever in a situation exactly like this, but with a 200 chip pot, then refer to my last couple of posts in this thread.
