Should I be re-raising preflop, and is there any sense peeling off a card on the flop with a backdoor flush draw and overcards?

wierd line, but you probably have live cards, and the backdoor draw plus you were getting like 6:1 on the flop.

reraising PF is iffy, i think either way is fine here..

so basically, my response is no help at all. But i don't see anything particuarly wrong with it, maybe semi-bluff C/R the turn?

housenuts · #3 10-19-2005, 03:31 AM

is it a weird line? i didn't want to put in too many chips early when i was most likely beat but had lots of outs. i assumed my A and K were good but would have check-called if I hit them.

I thought about c/r'ing the river, but didn't want it to be checked down.

are you in this tourney?

I would only semi bluff turn here if he bet 200-300.

does that mean you're going to semi-bluff all-in?

*If* I were to semi bluff I'd make it 700 to go

so instead i'm staying up reading all the forums of 2+2.

I'm an idiot.

And by wierd line, it's just you dont see it often, but i think it was a good one. i don't like reraising PF this early becasue i feel like i leak too many chips post flop w/ a c-bet. someone that was more confident with their post flop could/(should?) reraise though.
