Johnny Bax plays live too
 

1st 30 mins of the Foxwoods ME. 4 limpers and I limp with 74s on the button. SB completes and big blind raises 200 more (blinds 25/50). All call. Flop is 7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. Blinds check and JohnnyBax (Cliff Josephy in real life) bets 750 from UTG+2. I call, we both started the hand with 11-12k. All else fold. Turn is a black J. Bax bets 1450, I call. River is a black 2. Bax checks, I....

That was you? No comment then. I'll comment after

Its a PUSH (kidding, MLG tagline)

I check behind here with no kicker a lot. Just from how aggressively he played the flop and turn.

Re: Johnny Bax plays live too
 

I'm pretty sure he raises JJ preflop here.

Ohhhhh so you were the donkey-villain in that cardplayer update :P.

I don't know, his line can't be much other than a 7 I dont think. Maybe a missed draw that hit a jack or something will pay you off, but I doubt he has that.

Live, against a player like Cliff Josephy, I think I check behind. Online against a random donk I'd bet it.

I'm pretty sure too, I just think MLG is probably ahead, but it seems like an odd hand to post if he was.

Re: Johnny Bax plays live too
 

If he was drawing he missed and won't call.

If he has a higher 7 or a set, he is luring you in.

But if he has a jack or a pair, a bet can get more money into your stack.

I'd probably bet 2000 and clench and hope he doesn't raise me there, although part of me wants to check behind and see what he has.

Um you want to overbet push with trips, 4 kicker, in a deep stacked game?

Re: Johnny Bax plays live too
 

Having played endlessly with bax (and watched him a great deal) I think he has a seven also, but has a weak kicker. So, I think checking is in order.

edit- or maybe he has a decent kicker but is checking for pot control, w/e. I don't see you having the best hand here, or being called by a worse hand often.

edit:

On P5's they wrote the board differently, i'm no longer shocked he didnt push.

As for your situation, i'm probably betting there everytime.
