[Leptyne]

Garland teaches that you should always keep track of players minraises, both pre-and post flop. Absent a read this is normally some kind of hand that is trying to build a pot when it hits. So, what do you know about villain besides he's got a huge stack?

Generally if I put villain on a draw, and who knows about MP, I'm going to flat call here to keep MP in. If MP calls then there is either a smaller set and a flush draw, or CO has AA, KK and is raising for information. Generally I interpret this as a raise for a free card. You have the same odds for the board pairing as a flush draw, so I'm going to flat call and push a non-spade w/ no A or K on the turn. If the turn brings trouble it's either push or check/fold to CO's push. You know CO will put you all- in as he didn't get that big stack by being a pussy. You're approx. a 4-1 favorite to get a good card on the turn.
