What would you have done if someone else had raised on the flop?

You should be more concerned with raping the obvious broadway. It's a given - given so many callers.

The most important thing is that you want to take your time with this. Your all in may scare the other 2 out. You want to represent a straight here, not the flush. As a rule of thumb, 2x the re-raise is good, but remember, a lot of this comes down to what sort of bets you expect your opponents to call. At a minimum though you do your best to get more money in the pot, and hope someone re-raises you so you can lay the boots to him [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

In my experience Insta pushes are weak.

Strong = weak.

Though in this time Strong = strong [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

A quick all in from me.

Considering the low buyin I would think anyone with an Ace will call hoping to split it, so your going all in for someone to call you with an ace, or if your lucky with a lower flush.

Mp1 wouldnt have raised unless he had the straight or better, if he had 2 pair wouldnt he just call to make sure the other does not have an ace?

All in,quickly to make it look like a steal.

Hence the min raise option in my original response. It all depends on your read of how they will react. I agree that an all-in here is counterproductive.

Would you please consider a word other than rape to descibe what you wish to do to your opponents. to those of us who know a victim of rape, there is nothing analogous to a play of cards. to those of us who know a victim of rape it is powerful word that reminds us, and far too many others of a personal and horrible event.


Thank you for your consideration.

Hyde, you need to lighten up.

People talk about killing a table. Or about how they were murdered Heads Up.
Or how they ran over a table. Perhaps this is rude because a reader might know someone who suffered an auto accident.

Stop being so P.C.

[/ QUOTE ]Many religious people consider rape FAR FAR FAR worse than murder. In fact, i'd say the only thing that they would consider worse than rape is rape+murder, and even then it's close.

Also know that the bible belt area in the US are also where the big gamblers tend to reside.

murdered = dead = going to heaven = good
raped = pre-marital sex = sin = bad
