Preflop I think I have to make it 500 or so, smooth calling doesnt seem too good given the stack sizes and villains relatively wide range. Seems like I should raise the flop or lead the turn, both of these probably make the river easier to play.

definitely re-raise preflop.

You can check/call flop, lead turn or

Bet flop, Bet turn, check/call river, different ways to go.

But, re-raise preflop, he really popped it, hopefully he has a big hand.

i agree, basically he has two cards without a preflop raise.

what about leading the turn?

Do people really call reraises to 500 in the Party game? the 10-20 game I play in, thats superhigh and you're folding anything but aa-kk, ak/qq on crack.

[/ QUOTE ]no... not even if you done it four time times in two button rounds.

500 preflop
800 flop
pot commit yourself on turn

poker is so easy.
