I never like overbetting when its a broadway straight. Maybe it's just me, but I never get a call, I would just value re-raise, 3x more or so.

This is a great situation for an overbet. If you make a standard raise, a set or heart draw might call, which might not be a good thing. You will get called by Ax though, which you are freerolling against.

I like it.

Huh? I really don't see someone having a set here. How are you getting called by Ax pushing AI?

[Seadood228]

A set is unlikely, but could be out there. I think a heart draw worries me more.

Ax will call 100% of the time because they will have the nuts. Would you fold Ax to an AI on that board?

[TruFloridaGator]

Yeah sorry with the Ax..obviously [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]
I still see no reason to overbet that much, make a standard raise & make the flush draw pay to call if he's a fish..

Why didn't you bet the flop ?

folded to you and you had position, I know four players is a lot to bluff but did the thought of betting the flop cross anyone elses mind ?

If there were less players would you bluff at the pot at the flop ?

Just curious.
