kindofblu 0 Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 You're way ahead...I'd check to let em catch up. But don't be cute past that. Bet the turn. Link to post Share on other sites

custom36 4 Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Bet half the pot. A check screams "I have the A" and a pot-sized bet will likely make him throw away his hand if he has nothing. Bet half the pot and see what the turn brings. Link to post Share on other sites
kindofblu 0 Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Yeah, now that I think about it, checking is pretty shady...You should way too much strength with the pf raise to check. Link to post Share on other sites

Monster_Josh 0 Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 I've been playing cards (spades) online for about 6 years, so maybe I've developed that skill easier than you.I plug Phil's book because I believe it is valuable and I have to make sure you understand that, the more you fight it the more I will talk about it.no one that plays poker has mastered anything, people excel in different parts of the game but there isn't anyone that has mastered this game lol you a silly rockhead man, that's what you are... yes you are, ohh yes you are Link to post Share on other sites

Monster_Josh 0 Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 I can't believe you're a forum veteran and you post this close minded bs.I said there are strategies in Phil's book you haven't mastered yet. You are lucky I'm still posting back to you with your comprehension skills. This is really a waste of time. Raising on the flop, to see where you are at in the hand so you can make better decisions on the turn and river is a strategy that can be mastered. Which is ONE strategy in the book you MAY not have mastered. There are many others in the book man. Link to post Share on other sites
