Default Re: Give me a line

Sfer,

I like a flop call and a turn check-raise. Here's why:

1. The board is fairly drawless (except for the gutshots).
2. Your opponent is pretty agressive (2.2).
3. Your opponent's most likely hand (a J) is one that is unlikely to let the turn get checked through.
3a. Your opponent's most likely hand is one that is likely to pay down the turn and the river if you check-raise.
4. Your hand has few outs against it.
5. The board is such that your opponent may think you're putting a play on (he likely won't give you credit for a 7 and may not consider overpairs seriously), which will increase the likelihood you get called or even played back at on the turn.

There are certainly cases where this line is too "stock" but I think this situation sets up well for it.
