No read on GORGAR50 but Kuster is tight pre-flop.

Anyone fold to the re-raise? I was really tempted to throw out a 2/3 pot bet on that flop, anyone take a stab at that flop?

Never fold to the reraise once kuster comes along. You're calling $8 into a $28 pot.

I would actually consider reraising gorgar, who's short with $72. Make it $35 to give him the chance to repop you, in case kuster comes along, who can repop after gorgar goes all in. Something else to consider occassionally.

On the flop I think betting is going to lead to pain and humiliation. I would only do it rarely.

given that the initial "raise" was a min-raise, i'm definitely calling the reraise. also, as phil said, i'm in if kuster is in.

the beauty of this hand is that you either flop big or dump it.

as for "taking a stab at the pot", it really depends on reads. the problem you're going to have here iagainst decent players s that a bet reps trips. as such, a straght and flush draw will call and you might be forced to flire another barrel if one of the players gets chjeeky and floats you OOP with a draw. the flopped boat alread has a big pot and has to hope that somebody picks up a big enough hand to call down a bet or two... that, or induce the bluff.

anyway, i'd want to know that both of these players like folding before i'd bet. also, for some players, slowing down after a pfr sometimes reps a monster.
