Did I play this correctly?

Is my flop raise too weak?
What about checking on the turn? (I was looking to check-raise, showing weakness, hoping someone put me on continuation bet on the flop, but in retrospect, this doesnt seem like a good idea)
What about the call pre-flop? Should I have raised?

I think re-raising PF is all preference, but I would have to at least charge lower PP's more to try to flop a set.

On the turn I would have bet at least $25. It looks like they have draws of some sort, and by checking if they're smart they would take the free card.

BTW - don't take my advice seriously.

Why not reraise preflop?

Your flop raise is very weak. I'm thinking 12-16 dollar raise on the flop. 20 doesn't even seem too high.

Checking the turn is pretty bad IMHO. You're getting NO information on where you stand in the hand. I would bet it out and call a medium-raise.

Reraise preflop, makes it alot easier to play... 12-ish maybe. As played preflop I would raise flop to 20-25 or so

bet turn.
make it 20 flop.

depends on read as far as what to do pf...calling is a option tho.

Preflop is fine.

Bet pot on flop, or c/r for real.

Check turn.

Play poker on river

Reraise PF, bet the turn.

stu-unger · #8 09-29-2005, 01:04 AM

i dont disagree that a pf rr is not a bad option with several callers when u r oop.

as for the flop i like to lead or c/r to atleast 12

lead turn for atleast 1/2 and play river accordingly.
