So, in short, you'd rather lose the majority of your chips and double your opponent when you're beat than to try to gather information to find out whether your beat or not?

If so, that doesn't seem to be very +EV. If not, then suggest a different line. I'd be interested in seeing an alternative way to play this hand while not completely committing 1000 chips to bottom 2. If you're already gonna commit 1000 chips to bottom 2, what's wrong with the 1600 flop bet?

lol.

whats wrong with the 1600 flop bet is that youve got a strong hand and you want value out of it, not the 100 chips that got in the pot preflop.

i already suggested my line. i would lose my chips here if a blank came on the turn. that's the way i play and i don't think its wrong (and no one has convinced me otherwise in this thread). some hands you just are bound to lose your chips.

what sort of insightful information are you gaining by betting <1/2 pot on a draw heavy board on the turn? either he has a monster and is trapping or he is still drawing and you are giving him odds to do so.
