Message: [QUOTE="300HPGOD, post: 5883407, member: 305911"] Some probably wont like the flat from the SB but I am fine with it especially a hand that could flop well like KJ suited but isnt overly strong either. If you think two villains will fold a lot pre then I like raising big there but I prefer calling as you did as you usually wont get the folds that you need. On the flop, I like the raise as this is a strong hand with top pair, 2nd kicker, and 2nd nut flush draw. If we want to play for stacks eventually in this hand it helps to raise here and build the pot. When villain raises us back we need to pause and realize what hands do this to us. I dont think Ax of diamonds raises back here, they might at times but overall I think a lot of players just call that raise there. They cant have AJ or A10 of diamonds so it would be a naked ace (AQ would have gutter) but still I dont think this is 2 diamonds. It isnt a bluff either so I think we are looking at (because of K&J blocker) AA, QQ, 1010, or rarely 44 or AQ diamonds. So we are behind a little but also have a hand that could stack our opponent. I would call the raise on the flop but know your opponents range there. On the turn Im not check raising here. Im either folding or just calling and hope to hit the my card. If we go the latter route we have to assume we will get it all to make sense so it would be calling $1.26 to hopefully eventually get the $7.65 that would be if we both got all in. That might be flawed thinking as a dimaond on the river could make villain fold but many wont fold a set or aces there. If thats the case we are getting about 6 to 1 on that call. So I can see calling there but why raise? You know what hands villain has and they arent folding any of them and I dont think you are beating any of them outside that slim chance AQ diamonds. Therefore I like either getting away here or calling and trying to play it perfectly where you fold river if you dont get it and open jam river if you hit it. [/QUOTE]
