Now the obvious answer is to bet closer to pot on the flop so we can shove turn, but I'm sure we've all found ourselves in a place like this before. Check/Shove? Overshove? Bet 1/2 pot?

Yeah you seriously need to size that flop bet just a little bit bigger so you can shove the turn. A guy with these stats almost always has JJ-KK here. If you think he'll flat the 3-bet w/KK. I'm not sure he shows up with any sets other than TT even and he should be/likely will raise that on the flop. The only way he has a flush is AdKd. Given that I think I'm in a neverfold situation so I'd go with bet small on the turn shove any non-d river. If he's the type who'll spazz shove then bet $2. Otherwise $3 or so is fine.

As soon as I saw him write "I'm so lazy I don't feel like playing any hands today" yesterday I knew it would be over.

fwiw. I usually go with First Lupe CD. I also go with any Kanye when I need to run goot. I hope somehting like that will help

I haven't listened to much Kanye aside from the stuff on the radio. I started with "Late Registration" since it seemed vaguely poker related but it pretty much blows. The newer one is good though.And I like the Lupe one but I can't get over a guy rapping about skateboarding. It just seems wrong somehow.

No love for Miley?

Sorry I'm not a fan. I think I'm just going back to TI. That's some good stuff right there.

QFT.But for a change of pace, I rock out to the Silversun Pickups to run goot as well. If you haven't heard their cd, I feel you are missing out my friend.

Lupe>Kanye>TI That's just the way it is. (TI- I have to say the latest TI is better than anything I have heard previously.) (Kanye- it's best to have all 3 of them, and pick out the songs you like, I think all 3 albums have some good stuff. When Late Reg came out, it was my fav, but now looking back on all 3, I think the first one is probably the best.)(Lupe- I usually skip the Kick/Push songs too, but most of the rest are pretty damn good.)

Was the most ridiculously easy bet to take from your side anyway Jordan. There's almost no way that you can get that done.

[The Lobster 0]

BTW, lol at the guy over at 4 who has a propbet to get to massively table 200NL to make Supernova Elite by the end of the year and started two weeks ago with like 400k VPPs.I guess with all the incentives etc he will receive from making SNE it will cover his losses even if he loses the bet (he needs to make SNE by Dec. 31st and show a profit) as long as he loses less than 300 BIs as well.Well, he's on pace for a few things...

Haha yes, the songs that have leaked aren't half bad if you ignore everything he's saying.

As played, I think you should be a little more greedy on the river. The villain has to consider the possibility that you're bluffing with a diamond or blocking with something he beats.None of those hands you put in his range are going to raise the river for you. The hero has to make the pot big himself.

[Giggidy 0]

How would you have played it?

Raise flop or turn, probably flop for me - its insanely drawy

[empythree 0]

Thanks BaseJester... I was thinking the same.. I guess I should have told myself how much I would call in that situation, considering we play w/ about the same stats.Giggidy, Do you think I should lay it down if he reraises dramatically if I would have raised?

I think that's a really terrible way to play it, i'm c/r this flop all day long, check calling two streets on this board texture is awful 100BBs deep imo,
