Strong enough to reraise? Maybe call and reevaluate on the turn?

 

[tenbob]

Top pair with a flush draw on the first hand of a TURBO, dunno Chuck, I think id be prepared to get all my chips in the middle here.

 

[tosborn]

I reraise to 540. Then reevaluate the turn if called. We are probably ahead at this point, but still vulnerable to a larger flush draw.

The min raise is probably just trying to steal blinds and would fold to a 540 bet just as easy as a shove. Only a better hand or better draw will call you here.

 

[ChuckTs]

Is it that obvious?

This was one of those post right after the hand hands, but is it that strong?

 

[ChuckTs]

The post-hand fog is clearing now...and no, it wasn't due to results-oriented-ness. After looking at the numbers and comparing it to other hands, it's stronger than I thought.

Anyways I repop to 500, he instafolds.

 

[Irexes]

Beat me to it, but I'd push here with 14 outs (12 at worst if he has a T). May be ahead already so I think you're winning 50%+.

Don't want to see the next card without the river and there's always the equity of busting out first hand allowing you play another

 

[calibanboy]

Another factor is the number of starting chips.

Anything around 1500 or over is an instant raise to 700 - fold if necessary.

 

[12skin]

I raise 500 and the bastage hits trip 2s. Or calls me to catch on the river..

alot of people minraise even if they have a hand. It makes it so hard to read.

Before I read the full thread -I was thinking call only

hand is strong and can re-eval on turn

thats wrong i see now--reraise got you instafold

I play too tight?

Id prefer pushing over raising because if he calls and turn is a blank, then its a tricky situation
