Re: TT flops set vs. semi-lag blind stealer
A fair point, but which is more likely in this spot considering his lagness: he has a draw AND won't bet, or he's drawing dead and will overplay the river if he catches a bit? If he's drawing dead...

Re: 3/6 6m KTs turn semibluff
So I'll ask, why not CR flop (or lead hoping to get raised)? If you can get it HU with the LAG, great, if not, you almost certainly have higher then 25% PE on the flop...

Re: Stupid line?
True, I was thinking that C/C flop, and betting from there might get more out of UTG then the CR because even dumbkins who limp UTG can fold weakish hands instead of calling 2 cold...If you are going...

Re: TT flops set vs. semi-lag blind stealer
I may have missed a bet, but I feel I have him drawing completly dead a lot. Will he call a bet with Ax or KQ? I probably should have added in the OP that if he was at all observant, he would have...

I hate the turn raise, both because you have to call the 3-bet with 11 possible outs, and you could already be drawing dead. Without a better read, I probably call the turn and make a decision on the...
