this is a live turbo
blinds 600/1200 ante 100
I have 52k (43bb)
EP riases to 3400 (stack ~36k). He's the only sorta decent player at the table. He hesitated and I think it's because he almost folded, but I'm not positive. I'm in the SB with and decide I'm going to 3b and test my read but then....the table calling station calls. This station has about 60k and he doesn't fold preflop once he's put a single chip in. I really want to play in pots with this guy and take him to value town. And since I've been squeezing and raising the limpers a lot lately I decide to flat (there is almost zero risk of BB squeezing). BB flats and 4 players to a flop.
Flop pot has 14,400
CHecks to the raiser and he bets 5,500. the station folds. I elect to flat and re-asses on the turn but I'll likely be willing to play for stacks on safe turns.
BB folds.
Turn is pot has 25,900.
I check, he bets 5,600
Now, I'm pretty sure this is never a value bet because he has to protect against the many draws. He's either trying to semi bluff a draw or get a cheap showdown with a weak/marginal hand. But this play really screams of draws to me.
so after a short tank I jam for a total of 43,000 which is 37,400 more into a pot of 37,100.
What do we think of this?
