I'm just not at all sure you get anyone to fold on the flop here. Given your read, you'd know best, but I think it's very rare that someone raises PF and folds the flop for 1 bet UI, closing the action.

So would you still have led if the flop came ace-high?

I'm leading almost any flop and I'm very prepared to fold to a raise. I'm not leading broadway-heavy flops, because the pot is protected and there's no significant benefit, even for a LAG, to bluff into this pot.

I don't get it. I'm trying to figure out why you'd do this now that half the pot is protected.

Because it's very likely that I've got Button beat, and I'd like to increase my FE against what is most likely, if not definitely, two overcards? I can either spend 2BB's and see the turn (flop c/r followed by turn bet), or spend 1BB (LRR + flop bet), and hopefully not have to see the turn.

First post here...trying to stop lurking and start posting. So, if I sound like a tool, cut me some slack [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I like the flop c/r here more than leading it out. With a loose villain, he's going to bet the flop anyway when you check. If he calls, lead out the turn. It's already likely you have the best hand, and the c/r should give you much more information about his hand based on how he responds to you leading the turn.

True. However, let me correct your language. Loose does not mean aggressive. He'll probably bet this flop because he's aggressive - not because he's loose.

I sort of like it I guess because of all the LRR going on lately

[/ QUOTE ]
There's a big difference between what Rob's doing here and the other recent LRR discussions. Rob wasn't intending on re-raising when he limped - he took advantage of an opportunity that presented itself.

If your read was that a LRR would gain FE against Villian - then I like. I just think you need to be careful as some will go to auto-call-down mode just to look you up - which may not be that bad if he's drawing to <= 6 outs.

I agree.

Probably do have a better hand then the button, but the PF raiser almost cetainly has overcards if not an overpair. The button I think we at least have to give credit for one overcard. So we are looking at 9 cards on the flop that can beat us.

Plus if the orginal raiser hits, he might just go into the tank and call down, while we piss away a flop bet and a turn bet to fold him.

I guess I would not really have a problem with the play without the button.

Another minor consideration is if I am making a play like this, I would almost like the additional bonus of people noticing what I just did if it does not work. I don't think you have that at 2/4.

Oops...the aggressive part is what I meant. Point taken.

I agree.

This situation will come up very infrequently. The play wasn't as "tricky" as the ability to recognize the specific situation Rob was in.
