Blinds 30/60
EP Limps
MP (T5000) Raises to 120
I'm on the Button with T3000 and have 5/images/graemlins/spade.gif 7/images/graemlins/spade.gif. I decide to call the min raise thinking that (a) I have position, and (b) if I hit the flop I may get paid well by the big stack.
SB+BB both fold.
EP calls 60.
Pot=T450
Flop: A/images/graemlins/heart.gif 6/images/graemlins/diamond.gif 8/images/graemlins/club.gif
So I have an OESD.
EP checks.
MP makes a small bet of 140.
Pot=T590
I decide to raise to 400. I want to try and represent an Ace and hopefully win the pot right now. And I still have my draw to fall back on.
EP fold.
MP calls my raise.
Pot=T1250
Ok, now I'm likely in trouble if I don't hit my draw.
Turn: 2/images/graemlins/club.gif
MP checks.
Ok, my raise on the flop has given me the free river. Should I take it? Or should I bet again to try and win the pot?
I bet about half the pot.
MP calls.
Pot=~T2500
River is a blank.
MP checks.
I decide to give it up. It looks likely MP will call a bluff at this point.
Alternatively, I guess I could have called the 140 flop bet getting ~4-1. But I'm really trying to play more aggressive poker these days.
