GrinderMJ 0 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 250-275I think check raise is really bad here, as is leading pot. You will almost certainly get the same FE from a 1/2-3/4 pot size bet, so why bet extra? With a check raise, if the CO bets it will generally be anywhere from 200-400 and a check raise will pretty much pot committ you with Kings with a jack kicker and I could easily see you being behind Link to post Share on other sites
IQCrash 1 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 We have top pair with the 2nd nut flush draw. I'm not sure why we'd make such a weak lead into this pot like Grinder is suggesting. I do agree that a check is the worst of choice of all.I'd bet 350 here.If CO smooth calls, play based on the turn.If CO or SB raise your lead, I'd push. Link to post Share on other sites
GrinderMJ 0 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 oh wow, I missed that you also flopped the nut flush draw . God I'm stupid, and IQcrash, 250-275 is about 1/2 pot which is a pretty standard bet in most situations Link to post Share on other sites
yourboygsarida 0 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 im curious, are you willing to gamble if someone pushes back on you? i think underbetting the pot only would work well to get someone on a worse flush draw to call imo otherwise id hit about 300.

simo_8ball 1 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I like leading out 300 here. I'm happy being allin if needed. Link to post Share on other sites
Briguy 0 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I c-bet for 3/4's pot on 75% of flops I miss. I see no reason not to c-bet for 3/4's pot on a monster like this. Yum yum. Link to post Share on other sites
