OK to try & steal a pot that no one seems interested in?
I wonder how many of you bet at a pot that no one seems interested in. After reading HOH I have tried to do more of this. What do you think, good to do, or FPS... don't ever do that...?
Seat 8 is the button Total number of players : 5 Seat 1: QuasiFiction (565) Seat 3: Dr_Jeckyl_00 (1655) Seat 4: alexnlexi (2560) Seat 5: medman2000 (2555) Seat 8: baseball_gre (665) QuasiFiction posts small blind (25) Dr_Jeckyl_00 posts big blind (50) ** Dealing down cards ** Dealt to Dr_Jeckyl_00 [ 4c, Qd ] alexnlexi folds. medman2000 calls (50) baseball_gre folds. QuasiFiction calls (25) Dr_Jeckyl_00 checks. ** Dealing Flop ** : [ 3d, As, 8d ] QuasiFiction checks. Dr_Jeckyl_00 checks. medman2000 checks. ** Dealing Turn ** : [ 7s ] QuasiFiction checks. Dr_Jeckyl_00 bets (100) |

Re: OK to try & steal a pot that no one seems interested in?
It's a very basic thing to do, and you should probably be doing it reasonably often. I think this is probably a good spot for it; it seems kind of unlikely that anybody has an A, and with one person to act behind you steal it doesn't look quite as much like a raw steal as it might. The thing you need to worry about before doing it is whether you're playing the kind of people who will fold a 7 when you make this bet though.

1. If it were me you are 5 handed pretty early and taking a small pot here doesn't seem of much use.
2. A tricky button might raise you here. Edit: Wow, 2 responses and 2 totally different anaylsis'. [censored] poker. |

SB has checked twice and the pot would be a nice addition to his stack, so he almost always will fold. However, the button has a big stack and some people at the $11s will coldcall with nothing as well as an Ace. So you'd have to be feeling frisky to pull this off. |

Many times the guy with the ace won't bet it on the flop
