5/5 NL, I have about $400 remaining after buyin in for $500. I get 10s7s in the Small blind. There is a raise to $20 from Mcullay Culkin (this doesn't mean much b/c he was raising almost every pot). Two callers after him, I decide to call and a guy in EP calls. Flop comes Ks Jd 7s. Nice flop for me. What do you guys do? Bet out or check. I decided to check to see what my opponents actions where. I felt good about my possibilities of winning the hand if I hit my flush or the other 7. Given the preflop action I didn't think anybody had a strong hand. Anyways, it gets checked around the turn brings the Qs giving me the 2nd nut flush and a redraw to the straight flush. With $120 in the pot and most likely the best hand I bet $75. EP calls me. The river is another Q. What do you guys do. I lead out for $100. What do you guys think? Should I have gone into check call mode. EP goes all in, basically putting me all in. I've invested $200, the pot has over $600 and its another $200 to me. What do you guys do? What does he have? Would love to see who gets closest to guessing his hand. Results after a few posts...I know what you guys are goign to say...why are you playing 107s from the small blind. My response is these two gapers are a great way to surprise your opponent if you play well on the flop and are willing to deal with the variance. Comments appreciated.
