Well......
*An over pair doesn't check that flop.
*A hand w/ a 5 in it doesn't call preflop (and if they are bad enough to play A5, i think they are betting on the flop)
*If the raiser and caller were semi bluffing, they are not getting the odds to chase the river.
*If the caller had something worth protecting he would have reraised on the draw heavy board(str8/flush/overs draws).
There is 525 out there for the taking and the only hands that call me here are trips (see above), big pp (would have bet on flop, probably reraised pre), and the boat (pp that boated up). The boat is the only hand that could be out there with the way the hand played up til now, and even then I think a set bets out on that flop. MerlinB didn't bet enough to protect a made hand against draws and the caller didn't think enough of his hand to protect it w/reraise. If someone on a draw calls me, then I have the best hand. I may not have the best hand, but I think no one has the 5, no one has a pp they are willing to call ai with, and only a boat is lookin me up. How often is a boat out there? If 2 opp. had pp, then a boat is out there maybe 20% of the time. If that is the case, This is a very +EV play. If a draw looks me up, this is a very +EV play. And yes, it is wreckless.
edit: Even if you hate the play and think i'm crazy, it was most definatly bold.
