Is this moronic?

Bet you wish you had just called his flop bet.

Whats the buyin?

20 or less, I probably make that play too, though its -EV.

Its just too pretty to have a gutshot royal, and 12 outs... 1 of them being the royal 10.

He's probably on kq, or possibly qq.

Tell me you hit the royal! =P

i would go ahead and push on the c/r. it's not pretty - you wanted him to bet more - but you're going to be in a tough spot if he calls and the turn bricks.

once you raise and he pushes, insta-call.

Its probably -EV, but its tough as hell to lay this one down.

I actually would have done the same thing. What do I know, I only play the $22's.

Hmm. Getting 2000:950 on your call (~2:1). Worst case scenario he has KK which makes you a 33-67 dog. I think this is an easy call.

I would raise less though. 350 basically commits you and seeing him come over hte top makes you sick. Make it 200-250 and go from there.

Let's pretend you had AKo here. Would you just call the flop bet?

Button has you on his hook.

Its the ability to drop a -ev hand like this that separates winners from losers.

Yes, it would be kewl to get the RF, but winning is a much better feeling.
