do we have a strong enough hand to raise here or is calling just best?

i bet the flop as a semi-bluff thinking on a paired/ragged board i would pick up the pot right there a lot.

I think calling here is fine.

calling and raising are both viable

ur big stacked, i raise his slowplayed 5

raise to what?

edit: nevermind, i guess enough to put him all in since he's short

correct

your the same cat that was saying he lost 20 buy in's @ 25NL right?


dude your playing 6 handed......try full ring....maybe your not a shorthanded player

what relevance does that have to this topic?

i asked if i should call or raise on the river

Raise IF you can fold to an all in from the boat looking to trap, if not, call

if you look at the stack sizes its impossible to fold if I would raise

I'm thinking a call, if you call, and SB moves all in, then BB comes over the top, it's easier to get away from I think, a raise is going to put SB all in anyways so you are not really going to define anything I think

I would have:

Raised pf. (you're on the button!)
Bet flop. (obviously)
Check the turn here, since you didn't raise either blind could have a 5 and be expecting to trap you. I'd take my free card.
Raise the river. You made your hand, if someone filled up, I can live with that. Any 5 will call there I think, especially at that level. (point being, I would only raise if I believed a hand I had beat, like trips, would call me.)

I think raising pf eliminates some of the difficulties in the river decision.

Mark

You bet the flop with a draw and 2 over cards, ya, normal play helps to get checked to agian on the turn.

But i'd be carefull with your limp preflop you lft the sb and BB open, could easily have a 5, and we dont want too be up agianst 5's full or a stronger flush.

i'd just call the bet

If the BB filled up, he picked a poor bet size. I think you call here and hope for an overcall. I'd probably raise if the third player weren't in.
