wow this one is very hard i think...johnnybax hand from bellagio 15k

I take it there are 2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] on the flop and another comes on the turn right?

If there are two [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] on the flop then I hate this:

the guy raises to 4500, Bax reraises to 9k, and the guy calls.

That bet does nothing but juice the pot, giving 4-1 to call, so the flat call doesn't tell him much.

If I'm right and there are 3 spades on the board at the turn, I may check/call to fill up depending on the price.

If Bax hasn't seen the villian play the nutflush draw aggressively then this hand is much harder for him than it is for us, but I don't understand his minraise, unless he was trying to get the villian to come over top of him, but bleh, it really hurt him here.
