Default Re: what is a blocking bet?

you hold 4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

flop: A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

you bet, are raised and call.

turn: 7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

you check and call a bet.

river:7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]


you might lead for 1/2 pot or so, and fold to a raise.

he will sometimes call with a good ace or AJ, but if he raises, you are almost always beat and can fold easily.

if you were to check, it will often cost you more to see a showdown if he bets the full pot.


prob. not the best example, but you get the point.
