DonkSlayer 1 Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 100max PL08 game. I'm in middle position and see an unraised flop. I flop the nut A-high straight with an A and a 10 in my hand, with a board JQK that has two suited cards as well. Checked to me, I pot it and the player to my immediate left re-pots. Folds to me. • My hand cannot improve past my flopped nut straight. • I have no read on the villain as I've only been sitting for a short while.• I have about $24 more than the villain and re-potting would put him all-in.Call and wait for a safe turn to get in in, re-pot on the flop, or fold?

Worse hands than mine will check behind. Link to post Share on other sites

Worse hands than mine will check behind.it depends on your read of the player. It's currently a small pot, so letting him bluff gets more money in and helps you force him off a set. If there were more players in the pot, I would definitely lead, but remember, as soon as you do, you are turning your hand face up. Link to post Share on other sites
