I dont know what I was thinking on this one. The player is 18/9 with 127 hands played . I was feeling really confident going into the hand . I probably shouldve folded pre-flop, and then took it too far and got lucky. Played as is, does the call after his flop-raise make sense due to odds?

FeARFaCT   United States. Mar 02 2009 17:07. Posts 496 Raising is fine, especially if you are commanding the table well. If you have been been raising too much and not getting respect this would be a fold though. The flop bet is good but you really just need to lay down when raised. You really only have 5 outs to improve on the turn and that isn't enough to justify calling... he also isn't even a full stack. FeARFaCT.net
