Default Re: Quick question on this 5/5 hand...

Call, because raising will disuade the action behind you. Give everybody the opportunity to put as much money in the pot as they want.

Catch a 4th of the suite on the turn will be sad and kill the action, take the pot there if it happens anyway.

Comes a blank, make sure more money goes in the pot -- not weak either, perhaps 2/3 to 1 1/4 of the pot. Don't do something silly like betting or calling 1/4 of the pot size bet.

Board pairs, I'm probably going to bet a pot sized bet -- going to be tough to want to call a big bet in front or big raise from behind. I think I like a bet in front rather then a raise from behind -- figuring a full house is going to check raise .. but a raise from behind can be a guy trying to get to the river as cheap as possible with 3 of a kind -- hoping to fill.

My bet on the turn may be such that pot size + my remainder chips will be just shy of paying off somebody drawing to full house -- if it can be reasonably done.
