Hi, this isn't "trapping"

It's a stop and go.

OK. I'm just trying to get the hapless UTG to call as many bets as possible. Maybe I need to work on my poker jargon. Can't I trap him with my stop and go? :-)

You, and your fancy names! you may think you know everything, but you don't know how to not hurt someones feelings! :cry: :cry:

BTW, of the three poker terms in the subject (flop, trap, and broadway), I used at least two of them correctly, so I don't feel that bad.

It's just a semantic thing. If you check/called the flop and then raised the turn...that'd be "trapping".

This is, of course, the much better line (yours).

no it's not.

a stop and go would mean OP led the turn.

he didn't.

he was OOP. he bet/called the turn and check/raised the turn.

almost identical line to calling the flop and raising the turn if he was in position.

they're both trapping, no?

No.

Trapping, you show weakness with stregnth, then raise. Stop and go, you show stregnth, flat call a raise indicating some weakness inducing a bet on a bigger street which you raise.

hmm. i was under the impression that a stop and go was:

i'm SB with K-K. flop comes K-7-2. i bet, button raises, i call. turn comes 4, i bet.

(i stopped on the raise and "go"-ed on the turn by leading out.)

if a stop and go is also flat-calling a raise and check-raising the turn (rather than leading the turn), okay.

Maybe this is the thread to revive the "implied odds" vs. "inferred odds" controversy.
