hmmm...is he a thinking player? the reason i ask is because a stop-n-go from a thinking player is to deny someone a free card that may be raising a flush draw when a blank comes on the turn...at least that's what i've seen.

if not, just call down IMHO. i do think you're toast on the rivered king though [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I think its fine.

Stop and go's are weird, but theres no other way to play it.

NickRegino · #4 05-02-2005, 09:17 PM

I think I would have played it the same way.

There's 4 people in on the turn with you. You don't have to be ahead very often for this raise to be a good idea. Nice hand.

Nice hand, even if he flips a K. You did all you could do, it's not like you can call anywhere. Stop n go's suck in my book. I just don't see the logic. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Looks like your fish flopped a set.

He didn't flop a set, but the river K sure did help him. Thanks for the info, just making sure I played it correctly. Didn't know if I should have paid attention to the call, then he picks up again on the turn.

It looks good to me. Nice hand.
