Default Re: Standard?

Well you've put just under half your stack in, for me its damn close to a pot committed situation but obviously it is making me sick. I think I raise to 135 on the flop and then lead out 225-250 on the turn, accomplishes about the same but allows you to get away easier if he comes over top.

Also don't underestimate the psychological effect of betting a number that has to be typed in. It looks like it wants a call and you can usually get by with shaving a few chips off of a bet to accomplish the same thing as a its full equivalent. If I believe the players at my table are paying attention I show down good hands where I typed in the bet as often as I can to set up the bluff for later.

Exercise: Next time you intend to bet 200 make it 196 or 199 and see what difference it makes. Every chip counts right?
