Hi Yeti,

I can't be too critical here, as I'm as guilty as anyone of stabbing at rag flops w/ garbage that whiffed trying to represent garbage that hit, and then continuing w/ an aggro line. I also find, however, that I tend to get called down pretty light when I get frisky w/ a posted hand, because people really don't respect you too much if you're tossing around a good portion of your stack on the very first hand you play, b/c they know they're up against a random hand.

That said, what did you put villain on to represent a flush on the river? 45, I'm guessing? Perhaps a flopped set or two pair? Is there any reason he couldn't have Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]x [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]? Also, if you had a flush draw, would you really fire the turn again after villain called your pot-sized flop bet? This doesn't seem terribly consistent with a flush draw; I think most would check behind on the turn, not wanting to get blown off the hand.

I hope it worked out for you, but I don't like it all that much. If villain did have 45, a flopped set or two pair, then I wouldn't be at all surprised if you got called.

Great for metagame, though. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Just a quick couple of points :

1) fsu basically said the same as your first paragraph
2) this wasn't actually my first hand, i think i'd been on the phone and timed out. i do have a very lag image though.

The fact that this is a limped pot the villian could have about anything, including the 4,5. Many would play 4/5 this way. I would fold on the re-raise on the turn. IMO, not worth risking your stack for. Some of this is player dependent though, so maybe you had a read that he would lay down a two pair or maybe even a set.
