1/2 $200 Max, full ring Live with Middle Set
Played this last night and just have one question about flop play because of stack sizes. We've played an orbit and the game is starting off slow as usual. Lots of limping and no raising preflop. So everyone involved has just about $200.
I pick up black 10s UTG and make it $12 straight. My friend reraises another $15. I've played tons of hands with this guy and we know how each other plays. This means he's got one of 5 hands: AA, KK, QQ, JJ, or AK. The button calls, the big blind calls, and I call. $108 in the pot. Flop comes: Kh 10h 7d. The BB checks. I know my friend will bet AA, AK. I think it's 50/50 whether he bets KK, QQ, JJ. Do I bet the pot $100 (about half of what I have left), go for a check raise and risk a free card, or just move in? Thoughts and comments always appreciated. |

I'd limp here, nonetheless...
What will he think you have if you bet this flop. Would you do the same thing with AK, or KQ? The only hand you can fear drawing here is JQ. So I'd check the flop and call a bet and look to move my money in on the turn or river. |

As the game gets deeper and more aggressive after guys drink I'm inclinded to limp, but with the tight table conditions I chose to raise. I'd play AA, AK, or a huge hand (KK, 10 10)with a big bet on the flop and he knows this. |

Bet half the pot. You're not giving a free card and he will push with a number of holdings. Make it look like a stopper bet with a good draw.

Or does it reveal things to your opponent? Stop turning your hands into 72o. |
