Re: failed steal attempt
 

It's not really a steal attempt, your raise pf is for value as you rate to have the best hand. I don't like the 125 bet on the flop. Way too weak. The problem is any meaningful bet is going to have to be all-in. That wouldn't be terrible actually to do here, but I think I'd prefer to just check behind.

Well, personally I would prefer not to be called here preflop so I would think of it as a "steal" as well. Just with the pleasant bonus that if you're called by Loosey McBlinddefender you rate to be ahead.

I don't like any bet on the flop into two opponents. I think you need to basically give up or try for a cheap showdown if an A or a T falls on the turn or river.
