Money is too deep. I would just call here unless he's terrible.

Against a tourist in a live game, I'd make it $50 and shove any turn card expecting a loose call on the flop and a tight fold on the turn.

i actually folded like a little pansy...

but then i thought...what does he have? i stoved it afterwards...

vs 99+ we have 42% equity
vs 99+,AJs+,KQs,AJo+ we are 43%
vs QQ,88,22 we're 25%

it almost seems like shoving would be a very high variance play which is very slimly +EV...

Folding here is terrible.

If he's going to call a re-raise with any two, then fold a lot of hands on the turn, that's the play. Given that it's online, c/r for balance sounds good, but puts us in a really shitting turn spot if called. c/c is reasonable.

I don't like a c/r and I don't like a lead.

I c/c and lead turns where I hit and perhaps c/r the right turn card that missed my hand as well.

Why is leading here bad? I'm trying to get better with my nut flush draw hands and am very curious.

I lead the flop and push over a raise expecting a fold most of the time. Playing OOP with a FD is not fun.

Calling sounds good but c/raising is better. Folding is just aargh.

leading is good, but with relative position i tend to check any hand...it's fun if it goes bet, call, raizzzz.

So you're content to c/r here? Why would you raise here if everybodys advocating to call HU? I also thought it was HU on the flop, is leading better if it's HU to the flop?

i don't understand - only a few are saying call and i didn't see anything about being HU.

if it was HU i still prob c/r but think it matters less between that and leading and calling.

I was thinking bet/3bet not bet/call. Thoughts?

Maybe I just saw a few people say call and they said it a couple times. I thought it was heads up, just my bad.

Thanks and sorry for slightly hijacking here.

i'm confused as to why, Hyper, you are saying you "play with scared money," yet want to shove $160+ into a $20 pot?

and, why you are sitting so deep when scared? why didnt you leave the table when 150-200 bb's deep?
LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!

i just moved up, so i'm still not entirely comfortable "gambling," but after i folded i thought wtf, i would never do that at 100, and then realized what a good opportunity to check raise it woulda been. then i just took it one step further, that pushing 100bb we're pretty much breaking even, which makes raising probably the most +EV play.

b/3b AI seems really sexy, but it puts us in such a shitty spot if he calls our flop lead and the turn blanks... eurgh

This seems like a pretty standard c/raise to 50/call shove or bet/3-bet or if called on flop pot turn/call shove hand (guy has less than 100 bbs right? Get iT IN)

This is a pretty failproof/oversimplified way to play big hands oop but it's difficult to adjust against.

I don't like check/calling because i don't like checkraising the turn all in with a lot less fold equity than on the flop (what made hand can we have in this spot from villain's perspective - especially if we have a TAG image like hyper?) and checkfolding the turn is very very silly especially if we turn a gutshot or something cute. Also if we make the nuts we don't always get paid off.
Family Cruise IMO

my image is a 16/14 nit...this is way tighter than i'd like to be, and hopefully as i get more desensitized i'll loosen back to the 21/16 i used to be.

Lead is good. Fold is bad. Fold is terrible actually. C/R is cool. C/C you might as well play with your cards face up. Bottom line is you gotta mix it up--you can't lead or C/R every time you have a made hand. With a lead, you can better define villains hand. If you C/C you are telling him you have a flush draw. C/R puts some doubt into villains mind about the strength of your hand.
