check the turn.

bet if checked to, call if bet in to.

The raise was too weak on the flop. You're giving him good odds to draw to a spade. If you're going to raise, make it like $12.

with 3 others seeing the flop, and a decent chance the BB has AA, i'd say there are 2-4 aces in people's hands on the flop. That means there's a good chance the A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] is out there, and Hero's bet definately isn't going to push it out. My guess is there's a much better than 50% chance the BB has it.

I agree, but they only have about $20 behind them and the pot is $22, i don't think i'd call a push here on the river.

amoeba · #7 06-08-2005, 12:12 PM

yeah I don't like to call a push.

but anybody just calls the .25?

I'm not sure what raising to $5 on the flop does. He'll call you with A spades, he'll call you with AK no draw.

It was basically a continuation bet. If I get called, as you note, there's an excellent chance I'm behind and should prepare to evacuate.

amoeba · #9 06-08-2005, 12:23 PM

but he was preflop raiser and you were preflop caller.

Why do you need to continuation bet?

if you are going to fire on blank turn and river cards, I can see this flop raise but otherwise I don't like it.
