Now this is where I need some advice. The crucial pot of the night.
I am dealt
in the bb and call the steaming guys raise. Flop comes down
I put a pot sized bet in the middle, as I can pretty much guarantee he will come over the top regardless of hand, which is what I want. He of course does this instantly, and I reraise the pot after some thought. He instantly reraises me pretty much all in .We were playing 2/4 at this point hence the big pots.
Now what do I do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can I call this bet.
The real question is can you pass this hand.
Basically you have got the action you wanted so naturally you have to see it though. I think the real issue is are you comfortable putting ALL your bankroll on what is afterall just a drawing hand. If you are not comforable with this then you shouldn't have bet the flop and especially not reraised. If you wanted to keep it small you should have checked the flop and let him bet which you stated he was likely to do. You could off then flat called and waited to see if you hit your outs. You may not have won as bigger pot (but then again you might still have) but at least you wouldn't have risked ALL your money on a drawing hand.
Your only a slight fav after the flop against most pairs (your a slight dog against 7's), so do you really want to be getting ALL your money in on these odds. Why not keep it cheaper and managerable to your bankroll and wait till see if you hit your hand. For me you bet the hand to strong early on and therefore put yourself into the position where you had no option to see it though and hope you hit.
