TalentedTom    Canada. Mar 04 2006 16:06. Posts 20070 i make my bets relative to my oppponents hand improving - i know he does not call preflop without a pocket pair or AK so if he missed this flop completley i dont mind him chasing his 2 outer he need 22:1 odds to call on every street i give him less than 10:1 a bet like this entices hands like 88-JJ to continue with the hand Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us and as we let our own lights shine we unconsciously give other people permision to do the same

nomanirvana   United States. Mar 04 2006 16:29. Posts 2523 Yeah that is a good bet. But with the flush draw out there, makes it 22/95 which gives him pot odds to call just for the turn. Maybe that doesnt matter often enough. I guess technically he is about 20% to turn a flush if he has the draw so your bet is just slightly over that - assuming you bet the turn if the possible flush doesnt hit. I think 35 or so would be a bit better, it might still entice the lower pocket pairs but make the flush less dangerous. I dont know though it looks like you know what you're doing.   Last edit: 04/03/2006 16:34
