Keeping the pot small OOP - Page 2

If you are going to make a very weak probe bet like that on the flop, then you should be done with the hand once he calls you. He either has you beat or is just calling to take the pot away from you later. Either way I wouldn't be too interested in playing the pot oop from there on.

If you're going to give up on the pot with TPGK after taking just one weak stab then you shouldn't be sitting in a four-handed game.

I am only referring to what to do after such a weak lead.

Betting that small is saying thats all the interest(and all your hand is worth) and continuing after that is foolish.

i take it u think this is 10 handed....

everyone loves folding preflop instead of being aggressive, or even without looking at the game...AA-22 AK, AKs, AQ, AQs. you will be blinded to death.

6 handed or 10 handed, it's makes no difference. it may be a pure steal, but you're going to lose your ass the times it's not. seriously, KJo is not a hand to call a raise with.

if you think he's on a pure steal, then you should reraise.

KJo is enough to see a flop with against a button minraise in a fourhanded game. Obviously if the button has folded for the past fifteen orbits then maybe you can reconsider this, but I'm going to be seeing flops most of the time when I get dealt two broadway cards. And no one ever said that just calling preflop means you forfeit your right to go for a resteal at some point in the deal.

When it goes sh, it makes a huge difference(esp 4 handed). Big cards and unimproved pairs go way up in value.

what i meant was, a raise from the cut-off is no different if there were 10 hands dealt or 6 or 4.

i didn't realize it was a minraise...disregard my comment [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Villian has 44 for flopped set.

I probably should have lead the turn and folded to a raise though I think I'd still call vs an unknown, who may be trying to get a cheap showdown with a worse hand. Which would still leave me in a bad spot on the river, unless I throw out a block bet.

Thanks for everyones responses
