Re: Zip the back up for me?
[ QUOTE ]
I'd tend to believe the BB is betting overs, hoping to steal, and raise him about $40. Chances are you take down the pot here. If it's reraised, then I'd say it's up to your read.

Re: Zip the back up for me?
If I raise the turn, what better hands am I going to fold? And if I'm ahead, what hands am I afraid of giving a cheap card to?

Zip the back up for me?
2/4 NL
I'm playing a relatively short stack with ~$270. BB has $250ish and UTG+1 has me covered. The table is tight-passive, usually a LMP-to-button raise for 3xBB, maybe a heads-up flop. A...

Re: up
Fair enough, but I still had to do something on the turn.
Are you saying you think it's too close to matter?

I\'ll chime in for Matt too
I knew him back when I lived in the Bay Area and he was the TD at Lucky Chances. Really nice guy.
Also he apparently instituted the "no tolerance for dealer abuse" policy at the WSOP.

Re: out of line?
the cards are irrelevant in this type of situation. The only reason you even look is in case your opponent catches you playing blind.

BB showed Q/images/graemlins/spade.gif 4/images/graemlins/spade.gif and took it down. UTG had K/images/graemlins/heart.gif 6/images/graemlins/heart.gif for the rivered flush.

oh, and calling the 3-bet on the flop is a HUGE mistake. the 3-bettor either has a 4 or an 8 or a MUCH better draw than you. you are way behind and drawing to a 2 outer, my friend.
