Post by: MrDigital on October 10, 2006, 09:54:44 PM I think you did well to get action betting 320 into a 180 pot, however, two flat callers has to suggest at least one of them is drawing to a strong hand and you are mindful of that.
The turn is a bad card for you (which you realise) and you check/call the 300 bet. Here the pot is 2040 your getting nearly 7/1 on your chips with approx 4/1 shot. You got away at the right time and also had a chance of taking down a decent pot if you hit. UL Just one way of playing a hand that could have been played differently with possibly the same results... Try and find more games where they call like this!

Post by: tantrum on October 10, 2006, 10:54:57 PM You say that you have 2 callers and one of them plays any two. You are putting big bet on the flop and got called by two callers. One is for sure on the flush draw and knows that if they hit their flush, you will be very reluctant to laid down your hand.
Now on the turn, yes you have odds to call, but your are most likely to be behind and most likely the bettor will fire additional bet on the river so you will have to laid down your hand unless you will hit full house. Perhaps check raise could be a good alternative. You are on the small blind, so your big bet might look like a steal, and the big stack can call your bet anyway, but s/he might fold to the check raise. I am not a big fan of overbetting as in a long run this might cost you money and makes you more difficult to get away from the hand. Pot bet would be sufficient.

Post by: SupaMonkey on October 11, 2006, 12:11:59 PM I don't like a check raise here because there has been no preflop action and no reason to suggest that anyone would bet the flop. I would hate it to be checked around here.
Title: Re: At what point do you bail out? Post by: Rookie (Rodney) on October 11, 2006, 12:18:23 PM As the pot is so small, a check raise wouldn't be the move, i probably check/call on the flop and then force out the FD's on the turn if a spade doesn't come.
