Default Re: the gangsta, the killer, and the dope dealer [an image consideration]

The hand is played perfectly.

On the flop the Gangsta has a draw that he won't fold or a mediocre made hand that he is pretty sure that he wants to showdown. He's tired of getting run over. If The Killer takes the lead against him here with a flop 3bet out of position it is going to make the hand more difficult when The Gangsta calls or raises the turn.

The turn is similar. A donkbet or checkraise may cause us more trouble because he is fully capable of higher level aggression as well (especially because he might be tilting). Check call is good.

On the river any card 9 and above is good for the Killer. Perfect opportunity to bet at it. Gangster either mucks his draw or small pair like fours or fives and types "FU" in the chatbox, or he calls or raises, no big deal (remember that gangster will most likely 3bet PF with the Axs he plays). This line gives The Killer the best chance to take the pot.

edit: Killer has to make a bet at any river whether he hits his draw or not.
