2008-08-05 - Heads-up flop decision

what do these numbers mean, the look like dates. However, I don't see how these dates could be poker hands. Just a few numbers. doesn't make sense to me!

Last night I played the 750K on FTP and watched this almost IDENTICAL hand go down 3 times. Every time the person with the made hand re-rasied, and every time the draw lost. There is no reason to bluff off any more chips until you have more than K high - for crying out loud call and make your hand first.

P.S. As I'm sure most of you know, if the bettor is bluffing, and you call him, 9 times out of ten he checks the turn. THEN you can go ahead and make your semi-bluff with much more info about your opponent. Or, even better, make you hand on the turn and then take the pot down without all the crazy risks. Damn.

okay you can disregard my other comment, I figured it out! I call because I didn't think raising from 60 to 360 with 10/20 blinds seems excessive....

You raise to 360.. then your opponent comes over the top for all your chips. Then what...

GUTSHOT straight flush draw. doesnt sound as good when i put it like that, does it? take the small bet as a gift and call. almost like a free card. odds of a 4th Diamond arent great.
your still on a drawing hand. dont get over confident. what do you do if you are re-raised? that always seems to get over looked.

Easy raise. Who cares if it's a "drawing hand" or not, all that matters is the equity. Overcard + flush draw + gutshot straight draw = a lot of equity. If he folds, you win the pot. If he calls, you've got plenty of outs.

15 outs is not bad, i agree. its not good either.you are probably beat right now and a flop full of diamonds im not sure i love this hand to catch the flush. you have a legit reason to bluff but if he pushes back you have a big decision to make. heads up, your entire stack could be at risk. there are 37 cards in the deck you dont want to see on the turn if he calls. now thats plenty of outs!
whats the "DRAWING HAND" in quotes for? it IS a drawing hand. lol.
donks usually play these hands like they are "made hands". all im saying is that you kinda gotta think past NOW, maybe even as far ahead as the turn! wow thats an idea.

i think i must call because when i am drawing a hand i like to see cheap cards and also if you get the flush you can slow play it
