first hand of mill and i'm 6 tabling so nothing in the way of reads or db/opr stats. curious what you guys think the best line is on turn here once i call on the flop to take it away later? just lead strong? crai to represent maximum strength? thoughts on other streets welcome too, ty.

I like creative plays as much as the next spewtard but this is lower level thinking imo

dude, didn't your mom ever tell you that if you don't have anything positive to say don't say anything at all? and from a mod no less. just unreal.

hes right bk, this is rly rly bad

clear CIB on flop

man, when I play the million and get raised on the first hand, I generally don't think 'hey, this guy will fold somewhere, once I put in a bunch more chips I'll win this hand for sure'

it's more like 'I hope that when I recheck my cards I have top top cause he's going busto with top not'

Sounds like some of you need to think outside of the box!

I like your line so far bKIcE

c/r turn > lead turn imo lead river big if he checks turn back

but not really a fan on the very first hand of the mil

"higher level thinking" and "first hand of million" dont go together imo.

as played, i prolly lead the turn. a cr would be nice but more often than not villain is scared of the heart and will check behind, giving you only one street to bluff him, which will be very unlikely.

ya ur post is an oxymoron.

dear god, where are all the higher level thinking players? like i need to hear what jokers like adanthar and juttelstud have to say with all their negativity.

sick play so far. i go for the check/minraise on the turn.

either that or bet the same amount you did on the flop, and minraise over whatever he makes it. despite whatever odds he'll be getting, he'll be forced to fold due to the sheer power of your poker talent.

I like this line the best I think

Is there a last shorter bet you forgot to mention?

this elicited laughs amongst our entire room

so i checked turn, villain bet 4k into 4045 with about 4k behind, i...? anyone like a check raise all in here to represent the nut flush and fold out any set or worse and possibly a small flush?

I was going to post this was a level, but it seems like I am just copying BKice, but trust me.

nevermind lol

i like the tilt prevention strategy.

i mean i would go off on you but i like you

You could have gotten some good stuff if you had let the "fold out a small flush and set" line simmer a bit.

You've got to believe he'll fold his KQ and bet large enough to do so. I don't think he'll fold his KQ for any reason.

I'm so good, I swear

agree 100%, rookie mistake, won't let it happen again

cosign on adanthar being "so good"
