C/c flop, lead turn? Anyone.....anyone.

So you commit your stack to call anything on the river? (Not saying it's bad, but I want to understand it.)

I think pot control OOP with a showdownable hand is the right play here. As to how to make that happen, I don't have a better line other my previous one.

I shut down once he called my turn bet, maybe call a small bet on river.

If you lead flop like hero did, I think he will call with 7 6 or draw, check fold turn is pretty weak for me. That line looks alot like hero has AK.

my life got a lot easier when i started reraising preflop in spots like this.

Re: Ok to go broke here? TT $50NL
 

It's good if the button steals alot. However if he flat called( I think you will get called like 80% of time), what's your plan for the rest of the hand?

Here\'s a rule I live by and I\'ll pass it on
 

I rarely go to the felt with less than pocket KK. If you have some mid-high pocket pair like 88-JJ and I call a flop raise, if the flop comes all under cards and it's a somewhat harmless flop I'll overbet the pot. If I'm called from that point on, then I know that PF raiser is either stubborn or has a big hand, then I'll act accordingly, ie... check/call small bet ot check/fold. Take a stand early, and save your stack.

I'll bet at this level that villian has something donkish like KQs or AQs and remained stubborn. A $10 bet on the flop will make things clear quick and early. They'll know you're serious and if they really want to play they're overcards their going to pay to chase.

5 handed, open raise from the button means absolutely nothing. I probably repop this preflop which means i would have gone broke even faster than you did. Your line looks fine to me.

Re: Results
 

No, the call pre-flop is fine. OOP I don't mind calling this. Reason being is if you come back over the top and then villian pushes, are you folding this? Call and take a flop and act accordingly, don't be anxious to get into bloated pots with these hands OOP, despite what others on here might say.
