Re: First round hand from 50+5
[ QUOTE ]
I would consider betting 300 here, expecting that this will frequently either win the pot or get me a free river when I check behind UTG+1 on the turn, with the added bonus that he probably fires into me on the river even when I hit. Were you going for overcallers with your call?

I'm not sure if I really answered this explicitly. There are a couple of reasons I called the flop. One is that if the raiser reraises, he is pushing and I am calling for my stack quite likely as an underdog (but getting odds, so I have to). I would much rather be the pusher so I have some folding equity. Next is that, yes, with everyone behind me there is a good chance that a big pot will develop and I might hit the nuts in a nice pot without having to put much of my own stack in to build it.
