Default Re: Common Party $3-$6 Situation

I'm torn between
- just calling and then betting if they check the turn
- raising right now

I think raising NOW is best

But there is also an argument for just calling.
Here it is:

I think that just calling tells the BB:
- that you have a K (AK or QK most likely) but might be afraid that he has a 2
- that you are willing to call him down with your K

Also - since he bet at it I am going to guess that he does NOT have a 2 (because he more likely would have checked if he had trips).
Since I can guess that he does NOT have a 2 that increases my chances of having the best hand and he is probably drawing pretty thin.


Also - he is guessing that I don't have a 2 because I raised.
I think his bet is just trying to represent his own K to see if I really have one (a 'feeler' type bet that Ed referred to yesterday).

(Maybe I'm giving the BB too much credit to actually think about it this much.....but I think some of these thoughts come to him instinctively).
