Live 1/2 PLHE, Effective Stacks 200

Im in the BB with 4h5h, Somebody makes it 7 early doors and I come along for the ride - 5 Players, Pot 35.

Flop 2s 3c Qs, I lead out for 21 and get 3 callers, Pot 119

Turn 6h - What is the correct amount to bet?

One player reckoned my bet was poor and another thought it was fine.

against certain aggressive players, i would check

if im betting, i would prob bet like 90, but it depends on how much i had been betting and how people would perceive a pot bet - like, online most of my bets are 3/4

you're not too deep - any aggro monsters behind you (Borat, Oberon etc?)

CRAI may be the way to go if this is the case

BigCityBanker · 21-03-2007 9:59am

no aggro players behind

I pot it. But I pot everything, because they will call a pot bet with QJ in that spot.

lol at 'they'

given that last night was a big IO Sat, might the standard not be higher than usual?

or is this just a stupid question...

Id have stayed all night playing if I could. Stopped to chat Mickste on my way out and his words were "this table is like the Golden Goose"

I'd bet 75 and i'd never check. i think checking is horrible. So many cards can kill your action on the river....

As most people has said you should bet between 70 - 90, You are in the BB so i take it you are 1st or 2nd to act, I'd check it and hope someone put in a Bet then raise it.

given BCB's info re players still to act, this is bad advice

(although on a normal SE cash table, it would work like 90% of the time

)

I bet the full pot, as AQ pays as much as QJ imo.

Any comments on me leading the flop?

I know betting the draw is optimal - but oop into 4 other players am I still correct to lead the flop?

I wouldn't bet a draw that weak - only 6 clean outs as you can't be too happy with the 2 spades which make your straight

for the flop need to be good you need to getaway with the bet some time by them folding which in SE does not happen often enough so im not madley in love with the bet though its not the worse.

as you said you would get paid in SE with TP so putting on the turn is fine.

if you have aggro players behind you i dont mind a CRAI here.
usually i hate a CR with a strong hand and i dont do it much at all simply becuase it shows just how strong your hand is and makes it easy for opponent to fold but in SE they dont fold even to a CR so it can be good.
