Oh, I know that we must play the hand, heh. I'm just wondering if anyone would take a different line.

Myst · #6 06-17-2005, 02:43 AM

What other line is there? Flat calling the bet with the intention of pushing any turn?

Betting the flop. It's such a strong draw, that I don't think it would be horrible. I'm just asking.

Personally, I want to be the one going all-in, so I check here. But I'm interested in other opinions.

I believe your play is correct.

Karak567 · #9 06-17-2005, 03:08 AM

Would you call an all-in with this hand?

I know I would, but would anyone else? I am assuming you guys would. Just checking my line :-P.

I am usually not a fan of checkraising. But here it makes sense. If you make a standard bet on the flop and get called you are not happy when an blank card hits the turn.

It seems better to get all your chips in the middle on the flop when you are likely to have the best hand.
