1) if he has a straight he's a moron not to push (and I'm calling the river anyhow so I might as well get in here and not let him fold if the board pairs, which he really perhaps ought to, knowing that I hold a set probably 95%+ of the time here).
2) I had a feeling I might actually still be ahead given his weak-ass bet.
3) I have odds to chase the boat even if he flips up his hand so I may as well be all-in on the turn anyways and a) punish him more if, as I suspect, I'm still ahead and b) get his last chips if he made the straight and would fold to a board pair, which is not outside the realms of possibility.
When I have one bet (or almost one bet) left I almost invariably push the on the turn regardless of how badly it seems to have crapped on my hand with a drawing card. If I have time I might post my reasonings for this at some point, but I think it's the right play a vast majority of the time.Statistics: Posted by Felonius_Monk — Sat Aug 12, 2006 2:12 am
