Re: Did I Trap Myself? (3-3 PL at the Vic)
There are two diamonds on the flop you present above. Thats a flush draw in my book.
When a player leads into the raiser, they usually have a big draw a big hand or maybe are testing you with a weak hand (like 88 or 77 or something).
Raising the flop with TT here is great, because they can "put you on" an overpair trying to protect. Thus the big draws and big hands often 3-bet, and thats exactly what you want. You lose 77/88 type hands, but they dont pay you anymore money in any case, so there is no loss there.
Also, the board is as draw heavy as it gets. Any card 6-K and any [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] completes some draw or other.
I like to pot the flop on this board, with this action, and hope that villain wants to get it in with me. If you 200 the flop and villain comes back for 800 then you can push and villain calls with lots of hands that you are well ahead of.
Just saying is all ... raising the flop on this board, when he leads seems like good poker to me.
