Thanks for post TJ
I would expect no less from a big stack blind and am 100% sure you would have made the same bet no matter what the flop. Smile

Like the bet sizing on the flop bet Joe. Makes it look just like a K, that is trying to price out a flush draw.

IMO, Dan's bet on the flop was non committing so there was a potential for him to lay it down if a scare card hits the flop.

As JWK said the flop bet was exactly what I would have made with a K to deny a possible flush draw. So the story is complete. I could flat the pre-flop raise with a king and a broadway card and the flop bets continues the story.

For bluff to be workable you need an aware opponent in a non committing situation and your actions have be consistent on each street. Had Dan bet some more pre-flop (ie, made it 3.5 BB to go) it would look committing and I would fold. I haven't been unreasonable with anything I had shown down at this table so my image is intact. Although it should be well known that I can mix it up on occasion, I hadn't been previously at this table.

This is also an example of multi-level thinking where I am asking myself "what does my opponent think I have?"

Anyway I thought it would be instructional and I thank everyone for their comments.

Good Decisions!

I very rarely vary my pre-flop raises. This is the same thing I'm raising with if I have AA.
My thinking was as you stated Tex..I'm trying to draw in some money. Once the flop comes and Joe leads out, with 10 BB and the chance to earn points still in the tank, I'm not looking to make a bad call/shove here. My notes on TJ actually were telling me to jam, but that mistake would be costly if this time he had it. It wasn't the toughest of lay-downs, and in retrospect, knowing that Joe was gonna turn 2 pair makes me look like a genius. Twisted Evil lol!

Well the sum of Jordans thoughts = sitting on the rail wondering how did he do that Question

I think Dan under estimated the end, Joe had peeked into Effs Cyrstal Ball and saw those two 7's rolling turn and river. affraid affraid Shocked Shocked

Great Thread Exclamation Exclamation

I once operated by that theory but have recently added some exceptions. I will open 3x most of the time with 2.5x and 3.5x thrown at a randomized intervals. Then I will add some situational exceptions. If the tables are loose passive I raise on the larger end more. On deep money I'll weight 2.5x heavier. On shallow money I may weight 3.5x more sometimes depending on the table and stacks especially if I'm a big stack pounding on a little one.

One of the plusses is it gets me more involved in reading pre-flop conditions. With a standard opening and a standard re-raise amount pre-flop had become too mechanical for me.

Just food for thought.

Good decisions!
