Re: 5: Opening plays
1. ok
2. Why would you want to suck people in? First of all, I would have raised preflop. But on the flop, if you're gonna bet, you should pray that everyone folds. |

#1:
Ah I'm fine with this. I might bet just a little more post-flop. Maybe 300 or 350. In certain situations if I have a good read on the min-raiser I may also reraise him pre-flop and try to take the blinds right there. Most of the time though I'd probably just call and then with that flop I would bet. #2: Pre-flop: I raise here, maybe to 525 or so, maybe 600. I'd be hoping to take the blinds and you have a good hand too. I'd probably c-bet most flops afterwards. Post-flop: I don't know why you think you should be sucking people in. All you have is a gutshot draw. I think your bet is a pretty gutty bluff. I probably would check here, but not with the intention of sucking people in. More like with the intention of folding after somebody else bets. |

Re: 5: Opening plays
#1 Why bet out here? You are HU with the pre-flop raiser with TPGK on a very safe board. Isn't he going to bet it for you 90% of the time or more? I check/raise here virtually everytime.
#2 um...I'm confused. |

Re: 5: Opening plays
#1: I bet out here because as splashpot said the guy's either a moron or has AA or KK (or both I suppose: I think its pretty stupid to do that with AA or KK and that many people still at the table anyway.) Anyway I want to find out now. If I check and he bets I learn nothing. If I bet and he reraises maybe I can start to reevaluate my read. I'm pretty sure he'll fold anyway though. Also if he is indeed a moron and just min-raised with a mediocre hand, chances are he didn't hit anything on the flop. It is my experience that when this happens a decent amount of those min-raisers will then just check the flop.....or min bet it. Because of these reasons I really think betting out is the better play.
Edit: typo |

If he makes a standard 3xBB button blind stealing raise would you still be inclined to bet out? |
