Welcome back Jesse!

I think you have to bet, otherwise you will be open to a bluff if you check. I bet 100 and fold if raised more than the min raise. However, I would bet more on the flop with the 2 hearts, and certainly more on the turn after the flop call.

[durron597]

I would bet 50 and fold to a raise. If he has a jack he will call, if he has a flush he will raise most of the time.

[Annulus]

bet at least T150, if you get raised i think you should fold.

[Messy_Jesse]

Eh, school started and this is my second set in three weeks... I need to earn back all that money I blew!

Interesting range of bets from Annulus and durron. I'll stick with my initial post seeing as it's a happy medium /images/graemlins/grin.gif

I'm actually finding that blocking bets work even if they're really tiny... maybe that's not true in the $55s.

The reason I choose 100 rather than either 50 or 150 is thus (my own opinions):

50 looks like a weak bet because it is less than what hero bet on the turn, and is open to a raise. Then you have a tough decision.

150 looks a bit like a steal, although I don't hate it. 100 bet does the same job as a 150 bet.

100 just "feels" right. It's psychologically much higher than than 50 (because of the 3 figures) and looks like a value bet, seeing as hero bet 90 on the turn. I'd err more on the side of 100-150 rather than 50-100.

Megabet: I thought you hated me... THANKS FOR THE "WELCOM BACK", even though you hate me...

In this hand, I checked... I thought this was a big place that i lost chip, and figured that I'd check... my oponent checked, and flipped over 99... I won the pot...

I was afraid of the fluch and staright draw, as well as alll the other made hands.... I didn't want to blow any more chips, so I checked....

lol, whatever made you think I hated you!?

What would you have done if villain had pushed? Because that's exactly what I would do if the flush card came out and the aggressor suddenly checked to me.
