Bodog 5/10 LHE (9-handed)

Cobalt is BB w/ A K . Opponents are basically loose donkeys. Most of them will bet if they're checked to in LP. They've seen me check/fold a few times when I'd raised pre-flop with QQ/JJ and seen A/K flops against a field.

Pre-flop:
1 fold, UTG+1 calls, 1 fold, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, 1 fold, Button calls, SB calls, Cobalt raises, UTG+1 calls, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, Button calls, SB calls

Flop (12 SB): K 2 8 (6 players)
SB checks, Cobalt checks, UTG+1 checks, MP2 bets, MP3 calls, 2 folds, Cobalt raises, 1 fold, MP2 calls, MP3 calls

Turn (9 BB): 6 (3 players)
Cobalt bets, MP2 calls, 1 fold

River (11 BB): A (2 players)
Cobalt bets, MP2 calls

Final Pot: 13 BB


My typical line is to just go ahead and bet/3-bet this flop, but I decided to mix it up a bit based on the table composition, my image, and the flop texture. Reasonable or no good? Should I be more or less likely to approach it this way with the tamest flop in the history of the world?

can't say if its the best, but it is certainly reasonable.
great flop, and against 1-2 opponents, you will have enormous equity in a big pot. given the size of the pot before the flop, i'd prefer to play it against 1-2 opponents, which i think a C/R accomplishes.

no way this gets checked through with your read, so c/r is not enormously risky.

i do not dislike it.

I doubt it makes a big difference either way.

Are 5/10 games on bodog usually that good?

Ive heard nothing but good things about bodog. They have REALLY good bonus clearance rates (and they're unlimited). I wish they let canadians play.

Bloody great thread title, as usual. Kudos.

That is all.
