I literally took down this pot just a minute ago, and thought it was right to just take down the pot with the draws that were out there and the number of players in the pot. Agreed?

100% especially with a flop like that, you mightve been knocked out if you waited to milk em for more...nice hand.

Angel made a puss raise PF and blatent steal bet on the flop. In your case, I'm raising to 300 to go heads up and pick him off on the turn.

Nice play.
Your bet was big enough to state you intentions but didnt put your tourny at risk if they had come back with a re-raise and scared you off. I would always prefer to take down a hand if I can rather than risk being out drawn by people chasing.

With the flush draw out there.... good bet....

**PJ of TheGame** · 12-29-2005

Dazmon, I don't think that's good reasoning. I'm all-in here if they want to push the chips in... if I'm behind I have a ton of equity (against a raggy straight), and I'm way ahead of most other hands except the flush draw, which is only about 33% when you allready have a made set.

I don't mind the bet though... if he had anything he would have called there, so it wasn't too large a bet.

**JokersWild** · 12-29-2005

I'm pushing all-in here. A call by any hand other than pocket 7s (or the highly unlikely hands of 53 or 58) is a mistake and that's what you want to force someone to do. In these cases, you may appear to push all-in with a flush or straight draw so an A7 hand might call you.

In any case, you need to bet the flop to take away all drawing odds.

**Diggler** · 12-29-2005

I think you already know that it was a nice play, and youre just confirming it!

Although I do like Alex's take on just extracting a little more out of the one guy...which is prolly what I would attempt...

NH...
