*yawn*

$5/10 NLHE I have $1200

Straddle, limp, I make it $80 with :Ah: :Ks:, reasonably aggro $2k+ stack flat calls, blinds fold, straddle folds, limper needs to feed his flop habbit.

~$240 in the pot
:Kh:

Limper checks, I check, deep bets $100, I call

~$440 in the pot

I check, deep bets $300, I double check my cards and call.

~1040 in the pot, less than $700 behind.

I lead out $300...

Super-standard?

Pre is smallish. I like flop/turn, but I'd c/c river. If I lead I would b/c ridic small like $50. Doesn't look like we can have Ah and I doubt he calls with worse.

Straddled pot, most of the players have between $500 and $1000 and I want room to play. My default open in this spot is 2.5x ($50) and I'll limp hands I otherwise would raise to build a pot.

I like betting 1/3 to 1/4 pot here a high % of the time as I have absurd fold equity. Although less so on the paired board. I just don't think he's bluffing and not only does he need to be bluffing, he also needs to be comfortable bluffing for a lot of money which many players in this game just aren't capible of doing unless they're steamed.

I like the little bet on the river, your hoping for a reraise so you can shove on him and take his entire stack!

nice

I don't think we want to c/c+c/c+lead as a bluff very often... I guess he calls this with Qh/Jh, but he doesn't have too many of those in his range.

lol @ double checking your cards. Hope he didn't catch on to that one!

That is what I was thinking. I would do this without the Ah if I'm gonna make a play on a 4flush riv.

First what are our positions? CO vs BU?

I get that you are WA/WB here, but why so cautious? Does "reasonable aggro" call 8bb with 7x?

As played, you may be able to lead bigger if you think he calls riv out of frustration after you counterfeited his flush. If he's competent hand reader, I think you bet a little too big. If you're balancing vs a reg it's fine, IMO.
