WCOOP 500 PLHE Bustout Hand
 

About 170 left, 100 people money.
Blinds : 200/400
No real reads, except the only flops that have been seen have involved a blind, and have never been more than 2-way.

I am UTG with red TT. (I have 15k, average is 16k)
I raise 3bb to 1200.
UTG+1 calls and UTG+3 calls.

Flop is 256, all diamonds. (Pot 4200)

I have about 13k chips and lead out for 2400.
UTG+1 calls.
UTG+3 raises to 7200.

I think for a while, and reraise with my last 5k.


Thoughts?

That's probably what I'd do. Did you run into something like Kd-Qd, a set, or slowplayed aces/kings?

I wasnt watching you when you went out so I dont know the results.
I think I fold your probaly up against 2 overs and a flush draw and you will probaly be racing and I think you have a skill edge to wait for a better spot.

Mmmmmm, really tough spot, but the 1st caller + the raiser + no diamond in my hand may indicate a fold here. Your best shot is caller with something like AdQs and raiser with 99; Did you consider checking this flop?

If you think this, I am getting 2.2:1 odds, so this would be an easy call.

Re: WCOOP 500 PLHE Bustout Hand
 

Yea your right, I think checking and seeing what develops like sirio said might be best.

Re: WCOOP 500 PLHE Bustout Hand
 

I really don't see how it is possible for a check to be an option here.

Note that he DOES have a diamond in his hand. I really like checking this flop because you are ahead of a few hands that can play back at you as well as a race to some other hands that will likely be played aggresivly, putting you in a tough spot by betting out.

I think it is reasonable, it's pretty unlikely neither of those stacks will bet unless you are reasonably far ahead. I think my default line is to play it like you did though but I do see value in checking.

Re: WCOOP 500 PLHE Bustout Hand
 

Why not? If one player check and the last player bets, you can check raise all in, why that play is not an option?

And it's not the only escenario possible.
