Re: RESULTS
Interesting. Usually I like a standard slowplay when I hit the nuts - calling the turn and raising the river. But on this board I think I understand the point in raising the turn. This way Hero charges Villain for a draw and gives him a better chance to commit all his chips with a made straight/set.

Re: RESULTS
When I read this question my immediate thought was "bet 400." The more posts I read from the better players here, the more I think I need to slow the f*ck down. I definitely play too fast too often and fail to protect my chip stack in dangerous situations.
Great post. I learned a lot. |

Re: RESULTS
Just a guess, but at this level a smooth call is scarier than an actual reraise... if villain had flush, maybe he'd suspect that the re-raise was to try to take pot?
I really don't have that slightest idea about the 215s, but that's my hunch... That and my impression is that the hero is very agro, so his raise might not mean the same as a regular raise??! Oh well, was a great post. Thanks 45s, great to see how it all played out. |

Re: RESULTS
Interesting raise on the turn. My standard play would probably be just a smooth call there, but then again I play the $11's. At this level, a smooth call might scream "I have the nuts," as others were saying, so a raise looks good. The BB can't be too good of a player... what is he calling the raise with on the turn? A straight or Jack-high flush? In his spot, I fold in a second to that raise...

lol, there is zero chance he had a set. You give too much credit. |

In other words, what kinds of hands will someone call with in the BB to such a raise at your level of play? What do you think was his purpose in calling the turn? Hoping to check it down after the river? |
