First orbit at the table so reads are sketchy at best, although btn had already played soooo well as to earn the note "idiot". Who likes this?

How often are you really getting called by a worse hand?

If this were heads up it would be an easy check to induce from a low pocket pair/busted draw, threeway I think I'll do the same thing but I won't overcall.

I like it. Are you folding to a raise?

If button is really an idiot he might call with a pair of 8's or something that he would normally check through.

Oh yeah. If one of these players can find a bluff raise/cr, they deserve the hand. For the record, both called (won't post who won yet).

Who likes raising the flop?

atnels · #7 06-18-2005, 02:41 PM

I don't, here's why:

Not pushing an equity edge.

Won't clean up outs. Someone with A5 doens't have us reverse dominated since the board pair would counterfeit their 2 pair if an ace falls. I'm not giving myself any outs for pairing our 6.

Pot is smallish and raising probably won't take the pot right there with this field.

If CO is a true maniac, we probably won't buy the button, might not get a free card, etc.

Raise the flop, bet the turn.

Given that the btn is prolly calling anything, even if I raise, I did think about it. A raise would only be a freecard play, and not for value. Personally, I like the call here.
