I'm not sure what to think here. I called on the flop since there were no draws, but after a long time thinking on the turn, I had to give this one up... isasmuch not fearing a set but perhaps KK/AA inducing a "bluff" from me?

In retrospect by betting that little I'm asking him to take it away from me, but seemed to me he was on the flush draw. Bet $15 on the river instead and fold to a push?

This one was actually pretty easy since it was vs a 2+2'er, random party donk it's a little more difficult. A better question here might be how much of a bet could villian make here to lure most of you into calling this down?

Hand 1) Bet more on the turn.

Hand 2) Raise the flop

Hand 3) I might check behind on the turn

Hand 4) Looks like a good laydown, although I might have lead the flop. I just have trouble check/folding with aces.

Siawyn · #3 04-22-2005, 08:10 PM

with the AA hand, how much do you lead out for?

In this particular hand I had Villian squarely on KK when he called my re-raise. But if we're talking about a random party player who might have made that call with AK or QQ/JJ... difficult thing is I've got a quarter of my stack in already with the aces, which is what I wanted.

Also on hand 1, how much on the turn? Interesting thing if I bet something like $30 then I've pretty much committed myself to the hand which isn't bad of course, but I'm worried about chasing flush draws away since the board paired and I definitely want a flush draw to continue. If the board didn't pair then I definitely bet it harder.
