![]() Loose LL online game. Mostly passive pre-flop. 2 very loose players at the table in SB and on the button. I have 77 in EP. Limper to me, I call, MP and button call, SB, BB call. Flop comes 2 7 2 rainbow. Checked to button, who bets, SB calls, limper folds, I call, MP calls, button calls. Turn is J (2 7 2), two diamonds. SB checks, I bet, MP calls, button calls, SB calls. River is A J (2 7 2), 3 diamonds. SB checks, I bet, CO raises, button and SB fold, I re-raise, CO calls. Comments? |

Flop - I would bet it myself. No one is going to believe you have a 2. Most players will put you on 7x and will call with overcards. It would suck to have it get checked around.

Interesting. I was thinking it would stink if I bet and everyone folded. I figured I had just about all the good cards. I was willing to have it checked around to let someone hit their overcard or catch a draw on the turn. Or bet their overpair on the flop.
Button and SB are playing anything, so a 2 is possible. And button is betting with absolutely nothing, so I'm hoping he'll stop a check-around. |

Again, this might be the case of the right decision depending on the game texture. In my typical game, opponents will take one off on the flop with pretty much anything. I want to give them the chance to do so. Also, players will be more likely to raise me on the turn with less than monster holdings if I bet on the flop. If I check-call the flop then bet or check-raise the turn I might slow my opponents down, which I don't want.
It sounds like in your game a flop bet actually has a chance of causing players to fold (amazing!). If this is the case, I can understand your check, especially if the button doesn't ever let the flop get checked around. -- Homer |

![]() There is something to your point here. I haven't had any success with my "EP bet into a paired board with very little in order to fold everyone" play for so long that I don't use it anymore. The games I'm playing in don't have too many aggressive non-monster raises on the turn. I'm assuming your betting enough draws on the flop to induce these raises on the turn. Hadn't thought about that. If I'm betting a lot of draws on the flop, I have to call more raises on the turn. hmmmm. |

i don't understand.. homer, you mentioned that it would suck to have it check around on the flop, but unless i misread the initial post, someone bet into residentparanoid, and he just called, which i think is the move.
