Horrible spot. What do you think is correct course of action?

[AlexMartin]

Longy's first post is still dead on the money despite what came after IMO. If you think your hand is good here, then call the raise and peel a turn. This should be obvious. 3 - betting is just folding out worse and allowing you to lose money to better.

How many hands did you play on your main network during 2007 Alex? I ask that because you are turning up with a certain type of hand strength repeatadly in your posts - i.e. taking lines that effectively turn showdown / marginal value into bluffs. Now, this should ensure a certain degree of action from regs for a while because it is play and thinking diametrically opposed to what is considered technically correct / MSNL 2 + 2 at the current time. But if the regs are any use they should be adapting to you and punishing you heavily for your mistakes after 100k hands.

Generally the hands i post on here differ wildly from my general line, but id agree that one of my weaknesses is always trying to get the money in on the flop if i think i have the best of it. 700k @ 0.50/1, 1/2, 2/4.

700k? Kudos.

Well yeah, wanting to end hands on the flop can't be good. And figuring whether you have the best of it or not becomes easier on the turn IMO. But if these hands aren't actually representative of your general play then meh.

Yeah i tend to post the ones where i did something a bit out out there rather than the bread and butter. I omitted in above post "trying to get money in on the flop if iv got the best of it AND IM OOP" as id rather give more to players in some hands than run the risk of being outplayed after losing initiative in a hand. A sad (but true) fact is when 8+tabling you dont get long enough to think about hands in depth when you should be.
