Monster Pot

This was one of the largest pots I've seen at 2/4 so far. Flop was nice but the multiraises on the flop even with top set wasn't so nice.

I would lean towards checkraising the river against most opponents. He won't be able to resist betting his probable straight on the end but may only call with it cause the board paired. But you got assloads of action out of him, so your line couldn't be too bad [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]. But generally, with his turn action, you know he is going to bet the river but not necessarily raise a bet from you. Thats why I'm bringing out the sandbag.

You should really have a suicide king for that.

If the game is loose and passive, calling and hoping for a limpfest is better. If the game is tighter, raise it. In general it may be best to limp with this most of the time in EP at low limit games.

Well played. I don't know if you put him on T9, but it was perfect.
