But mahatma is known for bluffing in this situation, often all-in.

I have only seen Mahatma play a few hundred hands, but he has pushed it all-in EVERY TIME that he got to the turn and there was more than $5K in the pot. Is this what happened? I would insta-call his push and expect to be ahead most of the time.

dude, you haven't seen very many hands i think is the problem here. particularly not deeper stacked hands.

as for "his push" he didn't make one in this hand up to now, as far as i can tell it's hero to act on the turn.

I think bet $2,300 and fold to a big reraise.

If you just bet the pot on the flop then you would not have as complicated a position.

Then again I play low limits full ring, so this advice may not be relevant to the current scenario.

This line would get you absolutely slaughtered in the big UB games in general, let alone OOP against Mahatma in a big pot that he reraised preflop.

Part of me agrees w/ this, but something tells me that durrrr doesn't necessarily hate the "complicated" spot in which he found himself on the turn in this hand . . . but I could be wrong . . .

How does Hero odd-sized flop bet change your analysis, if at all?

I actually think it changes things for villain a lot more than it does for durrrr, because Mahatma is liable to be calling behind on the flop w/ just as huge a range when hero pots the flop as he is when durrrr makes the bet he did. What I think it did, or what I would imagine it's intent was, is to muddy Mahatma's sense for durrrr's hand range, and to plant the idea in villain's mind that hero is weak, and give him every opportunity to bluff at the pot on later streets.

And perhaps to set the stage for a suspiciously large value bet on the river? [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

But, what do I know . . .
