Yeah, I guess my roomate's real reasoning is that if he checks his draw on the flop (which my roomate really thinks he will since he doesn't want to get charged) I can bet the pot on the turn and he'll probably fold knowing his percentages are way down. But he won't I highly highly doubt if he thinks any diamonds, 10, or possibly ace could be good.

Again, dude. You want to get all your money in the pot. Not getting out the cheapest. If you think checking the flop and betting the turn would get him to FOLD, that's not a good play.

you can't make rationally think of the advange of checking in that way... the only advantage of checking the flop is to induce a bet and then CR yourself all in.

I like that play because its not as volatile since you're not allowing flush draws to move in. If he has a K, the money will most likely go in anyway but you may not want a flush draw to raise all in and then draw at you.

against aggressive oppenants, I like checking the flop and then CR opp who will bet flush draws.

Throw another one for me, only not a slap... have you ever heard of a cleveland steamer? Get him good. Checking aces there, poor little fish.

like INSTAcall. I mean, I break my keyboard and give myself a hernia clicking call. the way my finger moves to the button to click call, it's as if I'm breaking the laws of motion. I'd create a black hole in my speed to click the call button. instaINSTAINSTAcall

You know you're still ahead on the flop. When you're ahead your main concern should be to get as much money in the middle as possible. Always. Because you stand to win the money in the pot and every single chip you can manage to get into the pot is +EV.
And it worked great here. Your bet induced a semi-bluff all-in from a guy that's only 40% to win the hand.

I'm very happy whenever I manage that. Even when he gets lucky and hits his draw.

Thinking about how you can get away from the hand if he somehow manages to suck out is way too weak, IMO. Because when you do that, you're also giving your opponent a chance to get away if *he* loses. And he's more likely to lose than you are.

So my advise is to try to play against your roommate as much as you can [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
