Why didnt you raise on the flop or the turn?

[Smasharoo]

I would have raised the turn, but three-betting there didn't seem like a great idea.

[Petoria]

So why not raise the flop and get them for an extra bet when you're last to act?

[Smasharoo]

So why not raise the flop and get them for an extra bet when you're last to act?Because there's more money raising the turn and I'm in position.

My fault, I missed that the 8 on the turn was a third spade. With a possible made flush or straight, calling there makes sense when someone else raises. And slowplaying the flop makes sense. How often to you just call the flop with a set? Does it depend on the board and and your position?

[Smasharoo]

And slowplaying the flop makes sense. How often to you just call the flop with a set? Does it depend on the board and and your position?Position mostly, and the preflop action.I'll bet out from early position on a high card flop and call a raise and check raise the turn if it looks clean.

why were you playing 1-2? is this the return of the experiment?

[Smasharoo]

why were you playing 1-2? is this the return of the experiment?It's the return of I had $20 left in UB I forgot about.

i'm kinda surprised he capped there when you opened up on the paired board with just a flush.well maybe not, people do dumb things.

[Kendren]

But... but... it was the NUT flush!!

True, I guess you find donkeys at alot of limits. I had to sit 3/6 at noble last night, I was 20 'crowns' away from clearning my next $10 in bonus, and wanted to pull my money. There wasnt even one 1/2 game going, and the 2/4 was full with a wait list.i'm in the big blind with 10 - 10 One raiser, folded to me, I call.Flop :6x-10x-6xif it was a scarier board i'd bet out, but this pretty much secures my hand, aside from me already drawing dead, or him hitting a 2 outer.i check, he bets, I callTurn:KxI check, he bets, I raise, he callsRiver:3I bet, he raises, I 3-bet, he capsI seriously wonder about king-king here, but not for too long. I call, and he shows 3-3 as the $85(ish) slides my way. :roll:

Whoa whoa whoa...no raise on the flop? With two straight draws and a flush draw out? How come everyone came down hard on me for just calling (and waiting for the turn to raise) in situations similar or even less scary than this?

because people think smasharoo is the god of holdem and will turn them from being losing/break even players to winning players

I agree with Smash here (though he has had some strange posts since he returned that seem to contradict his old strategies). When I flop a good set I will call the flop and check-raise the turn. I find that this maximized my winnings once the big bets come around.

on the flop you're the last to act, why wouldn't you raise, it's weak/tight not to raise it there.
