Default Re: Sucking it up with TT - $55

[ QUOTE ]
If I check call, we have a pot of ~550 on the turn. My stack is 735. I lead a non-scary (or any?) turn for 250-350...which gets me committed, doesn't it?

If you flat call a flop bet, lead the turn and get raised, you are beat. Gven this, you CAN lead the turn for 250 and fold to a raise.

C/Ring the flop is bad because tons of idiots will flat call with overs and then you're OOP on the turn in a crappy spot. The only C/R here is all-in, which I don't mind, but we're a touch too deep I think.

I prefer calling and leading the turn because if we're beat, we don't lose everything. The downside is we risk giving a free card that beats us and/or we may be up against the odd opponent that will flat call with overs on the turn. However, I don't view this as all that likely because:

- there's only one card left
- flat calling the flop and leading the turn is one of the stronger lines in hold-em

Honestly, I think your stack is sort of in no-mans land here. Shorter and I C/R all in on the flop. Larger and I check/call, lead the turn. I think you can probably do either here, but I prefer the latter.
