I think this is pretty horrible. I would raise more on the flop because it is so draw heavy. And pretty much give up on the turn.

I think the turn bet is horrible,i don't see what can call the flop raise that didn't miss the turn. If hishand is string on the flop he 3 bets you.

Well, I know this is horrible, and that's why I posted it. I had one of my braindead moments playing this one.

Now here's the part where it actually get a little bit more interesting...

What if I had raised 300 and villain had pushed, what would be your play?

I push the flop and be grateful to actually make a profit with this hand.

I think the river bet is the most interesting part of this unique piece of poker.

I'm torn between it being genius and being a disgrace and I've changed my mind several times.

I'll save you the suspense: it's the latter.

What's even worse is that my read was right all the way through the hand. And it gets even worst than that: I had a read.

Edit: btw, villain's call on the turn absolutely sucks. ok, i'll go to bed. goodnight everyone.
