Re: thta\'s why they call it gambling.....
[ QUOTE ]
let me try again, as maybe i wasn't perfectly clear with my 'phrasology'. pre flop there was $71 in the pot. after the flop, there were 2 checks , then a $30 bet. that made a $101 total. action to me, i bet $100. how is that properly described ? [/ QUOTE ] Raising the pot means that you actually call the $30 - then raise what's in there, laying your opponent 2-1 odds. So for you to raise the pot, you would have to raise to about $160. Think about the odds you lay your opponent (if you bet pot - you lay 2:1, half pot - 3:1, 3rd pot - 4:1, and so on....)

So a pot sized raise is 130 more or 160 total.

Re: thta\'s why they call it gambling.....
I play the hand just the way you did. My math is not good enough to know what my odds are against three players on a draw but I know they are greatly improved if I'm heads up. This is also my way of informing the other players that they will face another pot sized bet on the turn.
Maniacs pull this kind of stuff because they're maniacs. Not a problem since you were going to push the turn anyway. I hate it when plays like that win. Whatever happened to Truth, Justice, and The American Way?
