First hand so no reads - I sit down and post in the CO, I get
and raise to $5, BB calls and a MP limper calls.
Flop comes
and they check to me, I bet $12, BB calls.
Turn is a
and he leads for $5, i raise to $30 and he pushes allin.
It's $70 more to me since we both started with slightly higher than a full stack..
Edited to a proper question: Does anyone just call on the turn and try to get to a cheap showdown? Normally I raise these kinds of bets to stop people getting in cheap with a flush draw but since the board is paired it's a little more unlikely that he has the FD and more likely he's putting in one of those "i want to look weak so you raise me and then i can push all in" type of bets..
Poker is silly.
It is not enough to be good at chess, you must also play well.
Somewhere in the world someone is training when you are not. When you race him, he will win.
