Default 10-20 NL: an interesting turn of events

10-20 NL on Prima. Play is six-handed.

Hero is CO w/ 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].

Folded around to hero, I make it $80 to go. I've been raising w/ lots of different types of hands in position, have been showing bluffs, and def. have a laggy image.

SB folds, villain calls in BB. Previous hand against villain, I made it $80 from the button w/ K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], villain decided to get cute w/ AA and flat called, flop came three diamonds (he didn't have A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]), and I stacked him when he came over the top on a brick turn.

Flop is 7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. Villain checks, I bet $145 (pot is ~$170), villain calls.

Turn is the 7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. Villain bets $300 . . .

Hero?

In these situations, I always think about SS's line about your kicker being pretty decent.

Stack sizes? I probably flat call this.

I like a smooth call here too...He could be doing this with so many hands but he is only going to call/reraise when he has you beat. I don't think it's diamonds, could be a hand like JJ-99 looking to slow you down, could also very well be a set, if he is good though, he would have priced you in with a set if he put you on diamonds...

Raise it to $750. Think about laying down if he comes over the top all in. Take a free showdown if he just calls your turn raise. Call a river bet if he leads into you.

Do you want a call here? What range of hands do you think villian will call with? Are you doing this because of your image or...?

i cant speak for mr. diablo but the appeal of going allin here for me is that:
1) shuts out a potential flush draw
2) gives us a good chance to win the max from opponents potential pocket pair. if the villian has a weak overpair there are about a million cards that could kill the action on the river and pushing now gives him a chance to talk himself into a call. my experience is that one of the most common mistakes players make is getting in too deep with moderately strong hands, like a mid pair on this board. pushing gives him a chance to make that mistake.

i think calling has merit if its very likely that the villian is flailing away with nothing and will take a shot on the river. given that he check/called the flop i think this is less likely than him having something, either a pair or a draw. against either of those i think pushing is better.

I think this is a pretty easy push. flat calling is very suspicious and he can easily put you on a resteal and call an allin with not a lot. apparently he thinks you shouldn't have a 7 here [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

would the bettor bet many hands there? if yes, you paid for your lag image now take your due. any other move is baaad unless the bettor would not bet without the goods.
