Default Re: $10/$20 7-High: Worth semi-bluffing here?

He's willing to bet into you because that's what you're supposed to do when you pair your board. He has two pair clearly and doesn't want to risk a freebie making your hand, but your board is scary and a raise will make him puke. So raise. Bet 6th if you catch a heart, two pair, any card that puts a 4-straight on your board - even gutshot. If you obviously brick off, take the free card since he won't be folding his two pair. Another plus is he will act first on the end and will likely check two pair b/c he knows you might have rivered something. Simply check again if you miss and allow him to win the pot. Ironically though, if he bets you might have to call with just queens b/c him betting into your board after you check sixth likely means a full house or you misread his hand and he just has 9's. Fun game. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
