this hand isnt as basic as u make it to be.. note the all in guy. holla

I like your line, for the most part, though I would ponder calling the river. How big a bet are you planning on calling on the end after calling the turn? If you're going to fold to all bets, I'd prefer either folding or raising on the turn.

I actually dont dislike your line because people don't often make plays at a protected pot without a very strong hand, but I wouldve still bet the flop and shut down if called.

color me confused. yes, the sidepot is dry, but this is the 55s, so it is less likely that an opponent would know to not bet into a dry sidepot without a good hand. also, the bb was getting ~6:1 which would make calling with any two correct.

i didnt plan on calling a river bet. holla

the all in guy is why I would bet the flop. People turn tight passive once there's a sidepot, especially weaker $55 players. I'de just bet it and hope that he has an A to pay me off with and if not I don't mind taking the pot down here. Even though I prefer betting, checking isn't bad. If I did check, I'm raising the turn and once again hoping that he was betting and A that he will pay me off with. Either that or shut out his king if he caught it.

btw, did you have fun at tournament masters on this account? You seemed to enjoy yourself [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Not awful, gotta be curious at what he is betting that river with that you have beat.

I bet 1/2 the pot on the flop though.
