Foxwoods $10k hand - what's your line?

[JaBlue]

OK let me end this. First of all, saying that betting anything less than the pot with two clubs on board is a crime against humanity is way off base. You're right, though: if you always bet the pot, your opponents will notice when you don't do so. However, there is no need to always bet the pot. Most good players, in fact, do not always bet the pot. Poker isn't a game that you can play formulaicly. You can't say "OK every time I have a strong holding I'm going to be the pot." You're going to get burned.

PS I said what I did because the tone of your post was weak-tight.

Hmm.. I didn't say "always bet the pot," did I?

You still haven't backed up your initial contention about the three-flush (or even tried, really).

And I don't see how anything I suggested would lead one to believe I would advocate a weak-tight strategy in general, if ever.

All of that aside--I agree with what you said about not always taking the same action in the same situation. But, by definition, you shouldn't ever make a -EV play (even if it's for the sake of 'varying your play').

The underbets weren't for the sake of varying my play.
