Fischman flop a boat and bets it

[betgo]

"Young Guns". Cassidy completes SB, Fischman checks BB with 72o. Fischman flops a boat. Cassidy checks and Fischman bets. Doesn't seem like the standard play.

Why? Isn't this worth discussing? He didn't play it the way Doyle advised in "Super System".

Doyle doesn't have a monopoly on the right way to play poker. I personally disagree with a lot of stuff he says in SS.

Its not a fcking instructional guide. He probably plays a flopped boat a billion different ways.

This post is clueless.

I don't understand everyone's harshness. I think that 90% of the players on here would check there. I think that as part of an overall strategy against an aggressive player, a bet there is pretty good. Why is everyone always bagging on betgo?

Betting > checking.

If you check, you pretty much always win a small pot.

If you bet, not only might he call with PPs and Ace high if he limps that?, but you might get someone try to bluff you thinking your weak because they share the same logic as the poster that you should check with a big hand in this spot.

So, you think a guy like Joe Cassidy thinks you should ckeck with a big hand?

To be honest, I think it's a better play to check. In the turn 2 things can happen:

A) Joe hits his pair.

- If Joe bets, he's calling your raise, and check-calling the river and you win a decent pot.

- If Joe checks, he's check-raising you and then if you call (or raise) and raise (or bet) the river, you also win a decent pot.

B) Joe does not hit

- He may bet trying to buy the pot, if you raise him, he may even reraise thinking you are in a resteal.

- If Joe checks and now you bet, he may raise you to resteal.


So, if Scott decides to play in the flop, basically there is only option B; but if he waits for the turn then he has options A and B. I think the turn and the river are enough to build a pot. It's not like they have 200 BB.


And like Soss, I don't understand the negativity towards the OP; what about some real arguments.
