Default Re: First hand, BB, top and bottom pair

Why encourage flush draws to call you? There pot is already big enough at 330 that you would prefer to win it right there. Raising to 400 pot-commits you anyway, so just push and give someone with a draw a chance to make a mistake by calling you.I wouldn't be too worried about losing hands like Ax. I actually think pushing makes it easier for them to call you, as they're likely to put you on a flush draw.

[/ QUOTE ]I kinda thought you were going to say that. I realized this too late (after I'd check-raised to 350). I picked up not one but two callers and shoving in my last 400-odd chips on the turn blank couldn't shake either one. The diamond on the river sealed my fate.I'll just write this off as a $33 lesson (and my shortest SnG ever).
