Yes. Title: Re: Bet on the flop here? -Would you have? Post by: Bongo on April 17, 2006, 05:22:13 PM Why are you checking the flop? I'd bet it the vast majority of the time..

Top pair Top kicker is not really a hand good enough to trap with, So id stick a pot sized bet in, Especially with 2 diamonds on board id like to just take it down on the flop. Title: Re: Bet on the flop here? -Would you have? Post by: Tinsel Town on April 17, 2006, 05:46:55 PM Good question in hindsight Bongo.
I was trying to trap him ( my inexperience showing perhaps) into thinking I didn't have the Ace. He didn't bet on the flop so I bet on the turn and thought he'd either fold or reraise me. I had considered he may have ace queen or Ace jack and I'd have him outkicked. When he called my turn bet and went all in on the river it looked to me like he was trying to force me out but in hindsight I should have guessed he had the two pair. Maybe not Tens and Jacks but Aces and Jacks perhaps. However you are right a strong flop bet should/would have forced him out. Thanks Td Th Title: Re: Bet on the flop here? -Would you have? Post by: NoflopsHomer on April 17, 2006, 06:00:29 PM If you bet the flop here, he'll call anyway with the pair and the flush draw. You can then shut him out on the blank turn.

You can then shut him out on the blank turn. this is very true. he'd have to give you respect for the ace if you bet twice. on that flop a trap is only really a valuable play when the blinds are a few levels higher. and even then it's a risk i'd only take if i really needed the chips. |
