Zach6668 513 Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Hero bets $30 and prays he gets raised so he can push.I think betting anymore is too strong. We have an insanely strong hand, and I want action, most notably from MP2. Link to post Share on other sites

If our opponent flopped a set he/she will likely check as well) Link to post Share on other sites

krup24 0 Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 With 4 players in, if they are aggressive I'm very tempted to C/R here. Obv this is table dependant. If you wanna lead I bet at least $40 maybe overbet it to $50. Link to post Share on other sites
Jordan 1 Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 If you lead, bet around $30-$35 and hope someone raises w an overpair.If one or two just call, one has a draw and the other guy has an overpair and is "caught" on his hand, most likely.Depending on the turn, should depend on how much you bet, but I'm still going to lead as I can't expect to get a bet from two callers, unless you know they are aggressive enough to bet when checked to.Sparing a one card str8 coming, I'd still lead for atleast 65% of the pot.I think the only other option you have, since this is a MWP, is to go for a check/raise..but I'd only do that if like utg bets, and you get a few callers...then you are just protecting...if say UTG bets and then the rest fold, I "might" just call and hope a turn bricks and he hangs himself...but honestly i'd almost everytime lead or check/raise here...check/calling is just asking for an action killer turn a fair amount of the time.basically, get as much money in on the flop as possible, cause most will drop on the turn, unless you are crushed by a str8 already.- Jordan Link to post Share on other sites

Mattnxtc 0 Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 nobody likes betting half the pot on the flop?I really dont like betting half the pot ever....though i would look to c/r here...if he has an over pair hes gonna have a heck of a time getting away from it Link to post Share on other sites
leducks2004 0 Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Bet and hope to get check raised to push or just check raise but that would give up the strength of your hand Link to post Share on other sites
