Default A Strange Pot in a Loose Game

Am I missing something here ? but there seems to be two 6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] in play in this hand - one on the flop, one in Eds hand!

The low spade in Ed's hand should be the 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. He had no pair on the flop.

I hope you enjoyed the article.

I think you botched this pretty badly on the flop. IMHO, calling here is by far the worst of your three options; raising is by far the best, in particular given your descriptions of the players.

Why do you think calling is the worst option? I've made some long posts on this topic in this thread (It's the one StellarWind started in this forum, if the link doesn't work.)

StellarWind has some important things to say and he argues in favor of checkraising. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the correct decision. (If you post, and I hope you do, it might be better to do it in the other thread, because that's where the bulk of the analysis has been.)
