Commerce 40/80 Full Steam Ahead

I think you guys are are FOS on the flop. The 1st caller is still getting 9:1 on his call, so they're calling with nearly anything anyway, not to mention a few of these guys are 4 card flop guys anyway. So if they were calling 1 they're calling 2 and I wanted 3 bets to go in on the flop.

On the river, there is no way that I'm getting raised, so my only hope for multiple bets is hope he has a big [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] and go for a c/r. I don't normally go for river c/r but this seemed to be a decent case for it. But I didn't; I bet, he said "full house good" as he was calling.

He later told me he had AA w/ A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Hey Barry,

If you're not able to go for a flop check-raise against a bad-thinking, bad-playing Button here because you think he goes into call-down mode given your image (in the Commerce 40), I think you need to rethink your overall approach to the game. While it's not that unusual for someone to just call on the end here with the nut flush, even in the Commerce 40, it is pretty absurd that a bad player in LA would do it after only 2.5 BB's going in postflop HU. This isn't meant to be anything but constructive, but from the handful of strat posts I've read from you, you strike me as the "typical Vegas pro" type player, and this hand post just reinforces that. Find more marginal or neutral EV spots to put in more action, enter more pots, start spraying instead of cutting stacks, whatever; but find a way to loosen up, even if only in the minds of your opponents, to get more action on your big hands.
