Re: Huge draw on flop
 

In my opinion you played this absolutely perfect up till your river push. I'd make $65 to go instead of pushing.

I don't think making it $65 is any different from pushing. Villain has less than $40 left after his river bet. Nice hand.

Re: Huge draw on flop
 

i love to play these big draws aggressively as you did. problem in this hand is the pot is only $3.

i check behind here on the flop, and fold to a turn bet because of that. i'm just not interested, no matter how big my draw is, in playing for a lot of money in what initially is a battle of the blinds.

cheers!

Hmm... my hand is certainly a favorite against 2 random hands so betting the flop can't be bad.

And it's 4 handed, 9/10 hands are battle of the blinds.

What's your minimum requirement for engaging in a battle of the blinds here? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Huge draw on flop
 

Are you kidding? Villain's entire stack is potentially available. Who cares how little is in the pot? What use is this thinking in NL, particularly short-handed NL? You'd have to break my arm to keep me from pushing chips into the middle.
You seem to be engaging in the common fallacy of creating an arbitrary, mathematically false distinction between a "draw" and a "made hand."

Perfect.

Just one question, if villian pushed after your reraise on the flop, would you call? I'm curious because I have a difficult time in this situation as well, especially in an unraised pot. If he had a little shorter stack it would be much easier, but he's got a decent stack behind.

Of course. very easy call.

Its easy to be result oriented. I like pushing too.
