(22$ Hero turns a straight)

[Sabrazack]

I really didn't like my line in this hand, please provide me with a better one for next time. I figured i was atleast in for a split pot, and only a perfect 57 would beat me. The reason for me reraising allin was that i know some players at this level especially during this time of the day make really loose plays and might be playing something else than a straight here. (not often though)

I like it, the only thing i can say is maybe you could bet a little bit more on the turn to build a pot. People will usually call you with garbage there.

[Olback]

I would have bet more on the turn.

[Sabrazack]

So you both think i should overbet the pot, why do you recommend it here? And how much?

[Olback]

Theres 60 in the pot. So i think betting the pot is correct. It might even be correct to bet more.

You want to bet more here and hope someone thinks you are bluffing or has caught something and will either raise you or call you.

[Sabrazack]

Hmm, this gets me thinking. Maybe i need to put more thought into bet sizes.

Anyway, turns out he has 57 and im gone, but [censored] happens ey? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Not much you can do there. Its the only hand that beats you.

Ouch
