princeof56k 0 Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Why didnt you raise on the flop or the turn? Link to post Share on other sites
Smasharoo 0 Posted June 10, 2005 Author Share Posted June 10, 2005 I would have raised the turn, but three-betting there didn't seem like a great idea. Link to post Share on other sites
Petoria 0 Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 So why not raise the flop and get them for an extra bet when you're last to act? Link to post Share on other sites
Smasharoo 0 Posted June 10, 2005 Author Share Posted June 10, 2005 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. Link to post Share on other sites
princeof56k 0 Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 I would have raised the turn, but three-betting there didn't seem like a great idea.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? Link to post Share on other sites
Smasharoo 0 Posted June 10, 2005 Author Share Posted June 10, 2005 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.

DKE_XP120 0 Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 It's 1/2 donkeys allways cap flushes.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: Link to post Share on other sites
CobaltBlue 662 Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 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? Link to post Share on other sites

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. Link to post Share on other sites

With a call and subsequest check-raise, I can usually suck in multiple donkeys to call a few big bets on the turn and river. Adding one small bet after the flop keeps them from giving more money later in the hand. Link to post Share on other sites

Say you raise the flop and get another small bet out of each of them. Then on the turn it'ts a bet and a raise already in front of you I would go for overcalls to fill up/quad up. not rasing the flop is weak tight. Link to post Share on other sites
