Default Re: check-raised with TP3K

yeah, I agree with Crispy. I'll give another reason though. There is no reason for him to put you on a flush draw. With a hand that is beating you, there is no need to bet so aggressively right now. He is trying to bet you out of the pot. Of course, if he knows that you know that he knows there is no reason to overplay a strong hand right now... maybe he'll bet trying to trick you into calling with your TP. But then that is expecting a lot out of your opponent. Really, only a highly skilled player who respects you as a highly skilled player would make this move with a hand that beats you.... Or a very poor opponnent who just doesn't know any better. All else being equal, I like to give my opponents a little credit.
