Posted Tue May 13, 2008 5:13 am GMT by Ciso_B
Ok, I bet to take it down on flop, I got open ended , noyone has shown any interested. I really didn't want to check call/fold to what might even be a bluff. He calls, which looked like TJ or A7,A9. He calls the turn which would shut me down alot of the time, I really felt weakness. He didnt raise pre flop, he didnt re raise flop and he didnt re raise turn. Maybe he has a King ? Didn't look like it though. What you guys think of my play here?

Why bother when they'll call you with even half a hand, give up after flop
