If you’re playing pot limit with a good hand and there’s some kind of draw on the board (8 or 9 or more outs), make certain that calling someone else’s bet doesn’t give someone downstream the odds to go fishing. You should raise. <\/p>\n
I went looking for that straight because the pot was paying 4:1 on the flop and almost 5:1 on the turn (I was also expecting BB to call and give me greater than 5:1), and there wasn’t anything very threatening on the board (like a board pair or three-flush). Needless to say, MP2 was mad about losing with top pair to a riverred straight (from the chat: “talk about fishing”). It’s his fault for not raising the turn: What some people don’t know will win you money.<\/p>\n
One final point: If I hadn’t gotten my straight, I would have been out $10 in one hand, and that does<\/em> happen. I’m just lucky that playing the odds actually paid off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"…but probably worth doing: Party Poker Pot-Limit Hold’em, $0.50 BB (8 handed) converter saw flop|saw showdown BB ($25)UTG ($10.15)UTG+1 ($75.85)MP1 ($44.65)MP2 ($10.60)CO ($43.45)Hero ($15.70)SB ($55.25) Preflop: Hero is Button with 5h, 3h.
