Mini deep stack tricky flop with top two pair.

edited May 2012 in The Poker Clinic
Liked and hated this flop all at the same time, and so thought I'd put it up and see how others would plan to play it. Had no information on the guy in the BB, but the guy that limp called had seemed a little loose as shown by limp calling, so I was less concerned about what he might have.

    I'm betting this hard and betting it for value. It's highly unlikely that either of your opponents has a set on this board or they would have probably open-raised or 3-bet pre-flop. That means we're beaten by KQ or a flush. However, looking at the texture of the board, unless one of them has the Royal Flush here, they would have had to call your hefty pre-flop raise with something like Kx or Qx of diamonds or some sort of suited-connectors for a large proportion of their stack. For me this seems unlikely. I'd be confident that our hand is best nine times out of ten here, so I'd be betting pretty big to charge those draws, Ax, JT, etc. Bet close to full-pot and be willing to get it in here... If someone has a flopped flush, straight or Royal flush, I'd be willing to pay to see it.

    Raise pre looks big given effective stacks

    B/c flop, prob about 1800-2000

    Bet at least 2000 on flop and don't fold.

    Yeah, seems like all agree so far with what actually I did in the hand, results below, and would have been hard to get away from I think without him raising. Where was my spade flop is what I want to know. hehe
