urza75 0 Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Im UTG with AKo i raise and get 4 callers. flop comes A K A and i bet out. Everyone folds. Winning me a mighty pot of 50 cent. (i was nutbarring on stars)Didn't really think of it at the time but this morning i'v been thinking i played it wrong, i had a safe hand and thinking i should have checked rather than bet. But in betting i get money into the pot knowing im winning but maybe if i had checked would they have played into me giving me more action and a bigger pot in the end. Not really bothered either way, just the first time its happened and wondered what everyone thought. What do you guys think? i know in betting i won but in checking i might have got a bigger pot. Anyway what do you guys think Link to post Share on other sites
mused01 0 Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 depends on the opponents. i personally would have checked the flop, but betting isn't wrong. it's actually real close.again, depends on who acts after you. Link to post Share on other sites

urza75 0 Posted October 13, 2005 Author Share Posted October 13, 2005 Sorry but i didn't have a read on the table, it was only about the 4th hand in and the players on those limits change a lot. The more i think about it the more i think i should have checked because i am winning this pot most of the time regardless of turn and river so checking is the option to take. Live and learn, Thanks for the advice. Link to post Share on other sites
