Default Re: Call here?

DoctorDrew,

I like the flop bet, although itīs only half the potsize. It usually will win you the pot against hands like overcards or smaller pairs. If you are up against a monster (e.g. slow played AA or something like that) it will save you 2nd chip position. You bet out to pick up the pot but canīt stand a raise.

Turn: Ugly card, since there was a flush draw on the board. so a hand like K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] would have hit. I think check fold looks like a weak play but is correct here. You bet the flop and got called from UTG. Give up the pot and save your chips.

On the river you might consider betting out 200. He probably wonīt raise you without a very strong hand since he has to fear that you have a 6 in your hand. This way you see a showdown with a hand wich can win or chop the pot.

Best regards
