Do you ever check the flop? On the second reraise on the turn I pretty much knew he had hit the strait, but just could not fold a set. Do you ever fold?

Bet the flop. Even if it's just half the pot to build it into something worthwhile.

golfcchs · #3 10-30-2005, 09:50 PM

And on the turn do you even think about folding?

No and no.

Play your sets hard. Slowplaying here really sucks.

Say you pot the flop and get one call. The pot would be around 135. I'd bet 100 or so. If I'm raised, I'd go all in.

Bet this flop, we want to start building the pot!

The turn is a very ugly card. I probably just call his minraise and hope for the board to pair. I defintely do not call his t425 raise, and if by some chance I do I fold the river.

Turn card pretty much ruins this hand imo

You really put him on that tight of a range at the 22's?

More so the fact that I can't put him on any real range of hands. No action on the flop gives us no information of where we stand. All we know is that we're minraised, then re-re-raised on the turn, and there's a lot of hands that beat us.

edit: as I said earlier. Don't let this pot spiral out of control on the turn. Just call the minraise and shoot for a cheap showdown

with a dangerous board like that you HAVE to bet the flop. i find unless you have a completely locked hand i.e. A2 and an AAA flop then build the pot or else you're not going to get anything out of it. not to mention letting people take cards off for free is bad.
