[img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] Yeah, me too. I also want to talk further about my friend's flaw as I've been thinking about it. He's a guy I talk poker with regularly. He also thinks very highly of himself as a player. (I'm not judging the point, but simply stating it as fact) We've discussed hands and strategies on many occasions and I think he simply doesn't prefer my opinion at times so I've stopped rendering it. |

[ QUOTE ] Youre friend needs to stop making such gay reraises [/ QUOTE ] While your suggestion is 'badass' I happen to like his 'gay raises'. He's cheaply defining his hand. I may give him a Christmas gift next year. [/ QUOTE ] He's definitely defining his hand... for his opponents. When I see people who make tiny reraises with hands, which can be narrowed down to JJ+, I sort of want to buy them a shirt that says "LOTS OF IMPLIED ODDS HERE!" |

You are right to think that you need to protect the big pot. However, since your buddy is so likely to bet and you have the others trapped in the middle if he does, you have a perfect setup for checkraising all in. I cannot see any other play assuming your assumptions are correct.

When I was announcing my bet I realized that it was a good spot for a check raise. Ugh. Oh well. The button just called (??), a heart came on the turn, and the money obviously went in before the river which bricked. I quickly announced 'chips!' and played on. Thanks for all the thoughts and replies. As usual, much appreciated. |

Re: 1/2 $200 Max, full ring Live with Middle Set
The check-raise all in seems to be the right play. It's very likely someone will bet.
Leading for around half pot is the 2nd best play. I like to limp TT in games like these early. It doesn't seem that tight a game [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Ryan |

Re: 1/2 $200 Max, full ring Live with Middle Set
Given the stack sizes, and the size of the pot I think you have to go for a check raise all in here. Given how likely he is to bet and the 2 players to act between the two of you-- you could very easily trap a lot of dead money by checking. The prospect of a free card is bad, although not disastrous given the strength of your hand.
