If person A bets, B calls, and C raises, B is said to be "whipsawed" between A and C.Accounting for the stacks, you're right about being committed. I think the flop check-raise would be best.

Only problem I have with that is that we can count on villain for a raise and we still don't know where we're at.

I hate that you can't find a bet or a raise on the flop or turn. We should title this "ZOMG! Combo draws!"Flop I can maybe forgive, given your read... but I think we need to try to make our presence known here. Edit: No, I can't anymore. I think we need to raise now that we've whipsawed Ganador here. We have a ton of equity on the flop.Assuming the flop call, I REALLY wish you'd lead anywhere between $150 and $300 on the turn. You have a TON of outs on one pair, and it'll be scary that you've woken up.

And with less homoerotic overtures, no doubt, haha.How do we feel about check/calling the flop and then donking and/or pushing a safe turn?I kind of like that. I prefer to give HIM the tough decision to call.

Couldn't have said it any better.

It's awesome. The Japanese are such a goofy people.And it's really cool at the same time.It's a 4-stage obstacle course and the events are REALLY twisted.Makoto Nagono the Fisherman and Bunpei Shiratori the Civil Servant are my main men.

Random question:Am I the only one in here who loves Ninja Warrior?Everyone has to go watch it.That Japanese-looking chick reminded me.

I happen to know a thing or two about that whole process if you have any questions.I think so too.

Really?I am.Yes, call the river. We're 5-handed! You'll see 6d2d waaaaaaaay more than 1 in 13.5 times.

The problem with stop-and-go'ing is that if we brick the turn we lose a ton of equity, and we're still committed.We want to get it all in on the flop when our pot equity and fold equity is at it's highest.

I like betting 40, doubling your "steal it on the flop" bet. I think checking is a semi-serious error against most opponents. Best way to make a big pot is build it yourself.Any two from the button is a leak.

Haven't read replies...I'm not a big fan of it. Looking at the stack size differential, you're daring the button to move in over your check-raise. Your check-raise doesn't have much fold equity against a late position bettor......And if you miss on the turn you're sitting there out of position with no good play. You check, he moves in, you bet, he moves in.Save creativity for late position!

Good Monday morning from sunny Raleigh, North Carolina.I'm going to a real estate conference in Virginia Beach from Tuesday to Friday, so I left to meet the parents at their apartment up here in NC last night.lol @ shaver

Heads up against an aggro late position stealer...I really think we should bet/3-bet the flop. Show aggression on the cheap streets, slows them down on the expensive streets. If capped on the flop, I check/call down. If just called on the 3-bet, I'm leading any turn.Fold equity!

Bet bet bet the river!Maybe 0 bets, maybe 2 bets sucks a lot more than definitely 1 bet, maybe 3 bets.

Having read replies... for all the reasons mentioned I like the turn raise. Getting 3-bet sure does suck though.And definitely just-call the river.

Haven't read replies...I think raising is standard here. We've got a bettor and two callers, and somewhere around 30ish% pot equity... the raise is for value and a free card. I realize there may be flush draws out there, but our OESD + two overs helps make up for that.I think you're leaving money on the table if you just call here.

I agree no worse hands call... but I contend we can make better hands fold.KQ, 99, or 22 would all consider bet/folding the river. The only problem is that it's highly unlikely villain has any of those hands based on the way he played.With that in mind, maybe flat-calling the river would have been better in this particular situation.

I'm so proud of your wild aggressive self!I really like flop, turn, and river, especially your plan for the river.I see your reasons for popping him preflop... and I definitely DON'T want to discourage you from discovering your inner aggro...But I'd probably just call preflop. There are probably better situations to mess with this guy preflop.I really like the postflop line though.

There are generally two situations where you might consider a raise/fold line on the river.One is when the board is strong, 4 to a straight/flush, trips/two pair on board, that sort of thing... and you have a hand that connects in some way to beat many hands, but not the most obvious hand that the Villain is representing. In this situation, SB is representing the T for a straight. However, if he had two pair/set, or some hand that the board just shat on, he might be bet/folding into the river representing the goods. He'd want us to think he has the ten and we'd throw away our hand. So we r

Haven't read replies...For Hand 1...The good news is they can't check-raise you all in! Even before I saw the river action I thought you needed to keep firing on the turn. Work with the fold equity. Interesting thought: is the pot juuuuuuuuust small enough that we could fold if check/raised on the turn? Against an unknown? I know that the creativity lends itself to aggression, especially at this level... so I think I'd call down if check/raised on the turn. I'd feel like I was lighting money on fire calling off another bet on that queen though.Hand 2...I don't play as high as 30/60... bu

$10 NL...Yeah, just come over the top. You'll be stunned how many times they'll burn felt calling with A6o.Incidentally, next time, lead for more on the flop. You don't want to lead into a multiway pot with two of a suit and straight draws with a 2/3 pot bet when you're protecting TPTK.Considering the stakes I don't even mind a flop overbet to price draws badly... maybe something like $2.50.

Lock it up Zach!Just kidding.
