Default Re: Getting away from a draw...

I don't really like your play on any street. If the action folds to LP who limps, then folds to me on the BB, I raise. The LPs range of limping hands can be huge, and you really should just take the pot pre-flop. Raise to 600 and see what he does.

Your post-flop action is way too aggressive - you have a draw. Why check-raise the flop...a call is fine, a fold is fine, betting out instead of checking is fine, but check-raising just seems way too aggressive. I prefer betting out for say 250 or 300. If you get raised for a large amount, fold it. There's no sense in playing all your chips on a draw. If he calls, look at the turn and take it from there (in this case, another bet, say around 750).

You have too many chips to be putting them all in the middle on such a weak draw. Raise pre-flop to eliminate the lone weak pre-flop limper in LP.
