Minraising is too weak. What if he has a set or ace queen or ace king of spades? You also wanna stack him here so try and get more money in the pot.

DonVale   United States. Aug 03 2006 20:12. Posts 1257 yea i was worried about the board pairing but i didnt know how strong he really was so i was like wtf here's a minraise on the river Online poker is rigged...

Moloch   United States. Aug 03 2006 20:18. Posts 6144 definitely raise this flop. lots of cards can come to kill your action, and you can rest assured that he has hit the board, likes his hand, and will not fold with only these 3 cards on the board. your hand is disguised well enough and NL10 players are not intelligent enough to fold AK here. minraising the flop is fine, i think. flatcalling his overbet and then raising the turn actually, imo, makes your hand much more obvious but if you want to do this, raise more on the turn and river. btw: river raise is ROFL, he obv doesnt have a queen raise way more pokerintheface Last edit: 03/08/2006 20:19
