Default Re: 25-50 commerce.....interesting decisions on all streets.

I like betting the flop, hope to get raised by an overpair, two pair, or a draw and then come back over the top to shut them out or get them to make a bad call.

It seem seems that you made the hand very tricky on yourself as you have zero idea what the MP has. He could have bet $2000 because he smelled weakness, because he wanted to protect an overpair, because he was on a draw, etc.

Now, you are put to an extremely tough turn decision. If you call, you could be giving him a free shot and you are likely in an ugly position on the river if the poard doesnt pair and he puts you to the test.

If you come back over the top you could lose your entire stack.

I saw your reasoning on why you checkraised the flop. However, you dont know that you are going to get called instead of raised and if you are called that isnt a bad thing anyway.

just my two cents
