J,

First off is Karga the soft spoken Jamaican guy that always plays the 20?

Secondly, with hands that can't stand raises on 4th(especially) or 5th street, damn on any street really, I like to bet the pot or overbet the pot so that thinking players don't interpret my bets as being weak therefore discouraging them to try to make a move, unless they have it.

The key to this is to play your hands fast, even monsters, so that they would have to have tremendous heart or read to pull off a move.

Also the call of this bet clearly (but can't say that always) defines the holding of most players that call this bet which is valuable for subsequent streets.

Now back to the hand, if Karga is who I think he is, I would have called since his image of you is being one capable of making plays.

Remember that move you tried to pull on Rupe when he had the 10's and Karga had the 2 pair and thought so long before calling, after that he will give you action for life.

But if Karga is not who I think he is, then forget about that entire ramble.
