Default Re: BB torture

Kurn,

As others have said you really have to call the all-in raise. But moving back in time, I think you have better options than betting the pot at this flop. The problem is that you'd have to call an all-in raise even from one of the bigger stacks.

I'd probably just have moved in on the flop. You figure to win the pot right there, but you may well get called by AT or KT. Flush draws and gutshot-bike draws will probably fold (which you'd like) but may call (which you don't mind). Of course if someone has a set (or an unlikely bigger two-pair) they'll call, but them's the breaks.

Another option is to check. Unlikely that anyone behind you will push in, but if someone does you'd probably fold if it's a bigger stack but call if it's the stack you have covered. If someone bets you'd have a choice between checkraising all-in (if you think that would win you the pot right away) or calling. If it gets checked around, you can play it by ear on the turn. For example, if a flush card comes you could make a small bet and then fold to a raise.
