Default Re: What to do on a large pot on the button?

The flop call is the thing that gives me the most trouble I think. If I were gonna make the call I think I would probably raise and try and get out stuff like AK, AQ, QT, and KT, granted they wouldn't go anywhere in most games like this but its the thought that counts; at the least maybe you can take a free card on the turn.

On the turn when your straight draw comes in, your definately seeing the river. I like your bet when checked to, since it appears that no one has a Jack and maybe you can take the pot on a semi-bluff with the scare card. When you get check-raised by a straightfoward player you now know where that jack is.

On the river, I think its pretty pointless to bet. Even with 21BB in the pot, I don't think this bluff will work often enough against 3 people.
