My flaw costs me a huge pot(a case for checkraising)

[jrz1972]

Well, first of all, UI overcards are not raising if I bet and checking through if I check. That's inconsistent. You and I both know that UI overs (villain's most likely holdin) will often simply call a bet but will bet if checked to. Yes, I know there are some opponents who don't play that way, but most do.

I agree that we should not be sad about gutshots calling. Since that was my main point in this thread, I'm not sure why you're so worked up over it.

If you agree that this hand is really just about value-betting and not so much about protecting your hand against threats that are very unlikely to be present, I'm not sure what the big deal is. Either way the OP is mistaken in his focus on BB.
