I think I like checking the turn. c/c-ing is good for pot control- c/f-ing is an option, but I don't think I'm ready to give this hand up to a reasonable bet.

I really hate these situations when you are smooth called for a relatively large pot sized bet on the flop with a low card board. I would put him on a small pocket pair for a set, 89s, or J10s from the way he has played so far -although you'd probably see a raise from two pair. I believe that I am behind the majority of the time and c/f here. I would like to know his went to showdown % and his win $ at showdown % before I made this decision though.

this is precisely why I almost never 4xbb raise utg at a calling station table with a hand that I'm pretty much autobetting the flop.

So do you raise more PF? You don't mean flat-calling do you?

raise more if you think it will cut down on number of callers, limp reraise if you think even a 6xbb or 8xbb raise will get called multiway.

Ok..thought thats what you were advocating.

amoeba · #8 09-21-2005, 03:03 AM

our biggest problem is that these guys while willing to call our preflop bet, will likely not call the inevitable flop bet without something that has overpair beaten. maybe a draw which is the best you can hope for. the biggest problem is that your flop bet is so many times bigger than your preflop bet due to the multiple callers preflop.

on the turn you can try checking to control pot size but even calling 2 1/2 pot bets will have you pretty much all in.

C/r all in?

Edit: after reading the thread, I agree with your thought process. I think it is c/r a-i if he is really a retarded LAG or c/f if he is not that retarded.

CO called a 4 dollar raise with 6-3 off and then called a huge flop bet with just a straight draw...you may have lossed this hand but if he keeps playing like that you'll take his money in no time.

Oh yeah the advice part...check fold the turn, I don't like the C/R all in advice AT ALL.
