Top Set, can calling the flop look weak?
 

some guy limped, I limp with 88, 2 more limpers and the BB makes it 155 to go...he has 1800 I have 1695. I am the lone caller (calling here ok)?

Flop comes 8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

He bets 265 and I just call.

Turn 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

He checks and I bet 370, the pot is 820 I think. I am trying to look weak and leave enough behind so he thinks he can get tricky. Any good?

Flop call is acceptable
I pot turn.

Why do u like potting the turn better than the bet I chose? remmeber we arent playing too deep

Re: Top Set, can calling the flop look weak?
 

If he has nothing(AK)etc. then he isnt calling anything...on the other hand if he does have an overpair, he might well checkraise allin if you pot it. On the other hand with your small bet , i think its more difficult to stack an over pair, he might just call.

plus what happens when T hits river, or a diamond. card can kill your action or kill your hand.

There is not enough room to checkraise me all in if I pot it. There is enough room for that with the bet I made though

Hiatus,

Pot that turn. You're laying too good a price on too drawy a board. If you think he really loves to pounce on weakness, make it 600 instead of 800. I like potting better, though. Also, calling the flop is fine, but that's a nice board to just raise on right on the flop.

Re: Top Set, can calling the flop look weak?
 

Pushing the flop might work too. As played, bet at least 600 on turn.

that preflop call is not a good play... actually, it is pretty bad.

flop, push... at least raise something... draws everywhere.
turn, push. draws everywhere.

What about the 5-10 rule? Isn't he within the "rules" descretion area?

Is this 5-10 NL? Is this really considered a draw heavy flop with a big PF raiser at 5-10, what are you worried about besides two diamonds?
