Default Re: Two respected posters disagree

i dont like it. that puts 1/2 your stack in and puts you in an odd spot on a turn w/ a diamond, which certainly gives you the worst hand. it'll price you as about even money to call should a bad turn hit.

rather than doing that, i like pushing the flop hoping to get it HU against KK+ or just calling the flop and pushing the turn should no diamond fall. if you just call the flop and then push the turn if its safe, you wait to raise when your advantage is bigger and make it cheap and easy to fold on the turn

this goes under the assumption that the players will call with a draw and take one off if you make a small reraise as opposed to pushing
