Message: [QUOTE="primrose, post: 7017214, member: 1036998"] This was another hand played in a casino. I don't recall having ever seen baldblackguy before but he seemed weak; yellowcollarguy is a player who's there occasionally and imo he's just very straight-forward, more or less just turns his hand face-up. I'm very happy playing against either of them; I don't think they're going to make my life difficult.

[URL='https://www.cardschat.com/forum/cash-games-11/how-should-you-play-blinds-against-540849/']I think people defend way too much against large RFI sizes[/URL] and contrary to popular belief, you will not be struck by lightning if you fold a hand like QTs. The open here isn't that big, so I did make the call, but I genuinely think it's close. Note that baldblackguy checked the flop in the dark. On the Flop I decided to lead; I have a strong draw and the flop is arguably best for my range, so even in GTO world this should be okay (not that I really care). On the Turn I decided to check; I don't think I'm very likely to get folds here. Two calls against a big Flop bet mean someone likes their hand, especially the second caller. And people love chasing flushes. I think if you did bet here, it should be very big, like 1.3x pot; that sort of bet might have merit. Betting smaller I don't like (but feel free to disagree). On the River I make my hand, and I think against these types of players, checking is out of the question. So you have to bet, and I think the interesting question is, how big do you want to make it? 50% Pot? 70% Pot? 100% Pot? Maybe 150% pot? (If I do get raised here, I just fold without even feeling bad about it; like I said, I think these are two weak players, and a River raise is the nuts flush almost every time.) [/QUOTE]
