With a view to doing what? check calling/folding/raising?

i know its very hard with no info on other villains!

Does he like to CR with TP?
If not I would semi bluff here, there's nothing better than when a semi bluff gets called and you hit on 4th st. You have a monster 15 outer after all.

I like leading out for close to the pot. If raised im getting it allin on the flop.

original raiser is pretty stupid and will flat call with tptk with the view its the nuts...he gets very attached to it and generally wont lay it down...will post action in a minute, just wanting peoples views

EDIT: button bets 2 into the 8, raiser flat calls, now what?

its a very weak bet after all so i raise yeah?

I would have folded preflop. As it is I would raise after the weak betting.

Paul Tergat

ok so i raised it up to 9 good/bad? enough?

the rest of the hand is pretty irrelevant i just wanted peoples advice on my flop play....playing these types of flops is something i really need to work on and i get into a lot of trouble by not playing them well

cardshark202

I would raise to about 16-20 here.

Paul Tergat

why such a big bet? is this intended as a semi-bluff? i personally am willing to get it in on the flop.

having bet that then what happens if we're called and the turn is a brick?

Yes as it is a semi-bluff

You dont have a make hand!
You should be looking twords betting instead of calling

And if we are raised after betting we are getting great odds although we have a greath draw we are still favourite to lose the hand

Edit its open ended sor we are slight fav
