Re: Love it or Hate it?
Those are big stacks, have you tried the mid-stakes holdem forum?

Re: Love it or Hate it?
Well you seemed to have priced him in nicely. As played i like the fold because he clearly does not want you to check behind with the 4straight on board and wants to maximize value.
However i think you need to bet more on flop and turn which should hopefully make things easier for you and more -EV for him if hes drawing. |

Bet waaaay more on either the flop or the turn. [/ QUOTE ] Why would i want people to fold, if there is a flop that safe? The guy had no odds to draw and I made profit. Let's say I had bet the pot on the flop and everybody had folded. No profit there. Or if I had bet pot on the turn? He would have folded a worse hand, but raised a better. |

I don't mind betting somewhat small on the flop, but I'd still bet a little more. I'd check the turn and keep the pot small(use your position). Call/bet reasonable river. Pretty standard.

[/ QUOTE ] actually if you bet the flop and win the pot is a nice handy $56 profit which is far greater than the -$85 you ended up pocketing without seeing a showdown. [/ QUOTE ] First, the profit was $42 on the flop. Second, since when did getting outdrawn mean that I actually lost? Ok, I lost this time, but what about the other times when I win? They don't count, because I lost this particular hand? The profit would have been $127, if he had not hit his river. I assume he did hit it, because the bet was inviting me to call. He would not have done that kind of a bet with AQ or something. Lets do some math.. We shall expect that he had A with a smaller kicker. Lets say 7 or 8. In that case he had 14% chance of beating me by the river. So I was approximately 6:1 favorite to win the pot.. Now let's think about playing the hand 7 times you way and my way. You bet pot on the flop and make a profit of 7x$42 = $294. I make 6x$127-1x$99 = $663. Now tell me which is better? And what about all those hands I am already losing after the flop? I won't lose as much, because I bet sufficiently, but not like crazy. That is an ideal flop to slowplay a set. Finally I noticed that this is wrong forum for this, so just forget about it. |

Re: Love it or Hate it?
hate it - flop and turn bets are way too small.
