Default Re: Simple hand. Is this how I should be thinking? (LC) - $11Stars

I can see going down to 600 if you think there is a decent chance he will call with a draw or A9 but fold to the larger bets.

Are you saying if I think he'd call a raise w/ a draw, then I should lower my bet? b/c raising to 600 gives him about 3.3:1. With implied odds, this isn't much of a mistake if at all to call.

With a deep stack you can force him to make a much bigger mistake on the turn and he will be reluctant to fold because of the pot size. And if a danger card hits you could possibly get away from your hand, taking away some of his implied odds.

I don't mind letting people make smaller mistakes on the flop if I think they make bigger ones later. And that it can blow up in your face is simply yet another calculated risk. If you think he will call with a draw even if you make a larger flop bet, then of course you should go ahead.
