why not just put him all in, raise to 500? its the same thing.

I don't see how you can fold after raising 1/3 of your stack, which is why raising to 300 is an awkward line, it leaves you with no plan if your reraised. if you just put him all in, its easy.

Yes, if I get reraised, I am probably beat. I know that 680 really isn't a big stack to work with at 10-15 blinds, so I shouldn't try to save that. The raise to 300 had a chance to win pf, and if he called he was basically pot committed on the flop.

If you didn't have top set, but a draw, would you have pushed (it's not likely that you would bet out with it, but this is hypothetical [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] ).

No, I would push with a straight and that is about it. I thought, well he must have a set, openlimp and raise the 765 flop, I should fold. Then I said, well I can't fold a set. The when the turn card hit I thought, HAHAHAHA, I just 1 outed him. Then you 1 outed me.

I can't remember a day when I would have lost quads twice in 1 day.

if you get reraised, since that player is raising over two raisers, you are beat 90% of the time, which is why raising to 300 is not the best line, it opens you up to the painful decision. not that raising the first player is a bad idea, just 300 opens you up to this awkward situation and 500 is committing.

Abel can't have 88 on Hand 1?

[/ QUOTE ]

He could have, but I don't think he would have raised the flop. I did bet into 4 people, so that shows some strengh I doubt he would want to get pushed into on the flop.

[/ QUOTE ]

Sounds good. I didn't see you bet into 4 people, but it makes perfect sense.
