Help a pilgram out..
Pokerroom NL $200
Hero on the button playing short with about $95. Villian is UTG, stack unknown, since Pokerroom doesn't include stacks in hand history, but probably has me covered. Hero is dealt A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Villian open limps $2.00 from UTG, UTG +1 limps, Hero raises to $10, Villian calls, UTG +1 folds. $25 in the pot. Flop is 3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 10 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Villian checks. Hero bets $30, villian folds. Here is my question. I am murdering this pot, not giving villian any chance to make a mistake. Also, I am not giving the villian any chance to catch something that causes me grief later like a third Q of J to his pocket QQ or JJ etc. Is this the right way to play this hand? Should I be content to take my measly $13 net profit and move on, or should I bet less aggressively and try to get a call? In this particular hand there is: A straight draw, A flush draw, And always the chance that villian picks up the set or 2 pair. Did I do right? I know that I always tend to blast the pot if I have any kind of hand. Is this a good or bad thing? I also tend to "pot it" if I am trying to steal. Makes my success rate go up, but is expensive when I get called or raised. Thanks, Tony |

there's no need to overbet the pot. a bet of $20 would likely do the same thing. he missed his set and he's going to fold.

Re: Help a pilgram out..
I like to bet slightly less than the pot, in this particular hand say $20. You might take a chance and charge him a little less so he may stay in and pay off with a worse hand. Though you'd also have to bet your bluffs this way, in which case people will stick around when you don't want them to. JMO
