Re: Play a set of Cowboys with me ($33)
[ QUOTE ]
I also like betting the flop here. You RRed, so leading w/ a bet seems like a good idea. Hopefully villain has AK or AQ and will RR or at least call. I like to bet 2/3rds pot - make it look like a continuation bet w/ JJ or QQ. villain's small bet seems like a weak attempt to steal the pot since you checked, I see him folding here a large amount of the time to a RR. Not really concerned about a flush draw - especially since the A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] is on the board. If I do CR, I think the RR is a LITTLE higher than I go, I like to jack it to t550 or so - I want him to call and then I push on the turn. I like a CR here if I have a read that villain will most likely bluff here - as he did. My default, as I said earlier, is to bet though. interested to hear how the rest of the hand played out... [/ QUOTE ] Thanks for all the replies. I'm still not certain of the best approach as I wanted villain to invest some chips into this pot, which I was able to do. That being said, I definately see a lot of merit into leading the flop. I often am not worried about flush draws unless I find some sign to tell me otherwise, his call on my flop raise gave me that impression. What's interesting about the c/r, particularly if it's not an allin c/r, is the "ego-call." I find that a lot of players can't fold once they've invested some small amount into the pot. In general, that's why I like the c/r here. I never c/r with TPTK, and rarely do I c/r with 2 pair. Anyway, I definately find some validity that a sub-pot bet here can mean oh so much more, and does disguise my hand better than a c/r. If you want you can play the rest of the hand with me...

I seem to have a knack for drawing in lesser hands on the flop and turn good hands into crap. Stupid Game. |

Note villain's extremely donkish tendencies and hope you run into him often, and like the saying goes 'fire up another'. |
