Re: Too aggressive from BB?

If the flop does get capped do you slow down on turn and then check fold the river if the card does not fall? Also, do you think a straight bet here would get more $$$ into the pot versus the check raise?

It really depends on who is capping the flop... If it's from a later position than you, then check/call the turn. If you are the one doing the capping, you have to look at the aggression factors of players downstream. If they are passive, then you may want to c/c the turn. If you improve to a straight draw as well, then you may bet out and hope nobody has the straight.

Don't feel bad about capping the flop and checking the turn. It happens... It happens a lot.

Overall, I think the flop check raise is really odd. You should bet out and hope for callers, not try to eliminate people.

When picking up the OESD on the turn this is where i might selectively semi bluff. I don't do it unless I have a read though.

Where is this 62% number coming from?

Ugh... I think my boss was in my office when I did this... I forgot to subtract 1.

37/47 * 36/46 = 0.62.... here's where I should have subtracted. You have a 62% chance of losing... you have a 38% chance of winning.... 1.6:1 to win... that's what I should have said... hmmm... note to self... work at work...
