def 50p, but dnt min-raise flop, it achieved little. Make it ~$10. This way you get to build a pot, still leave the illusion of f/e, and also get to use this in the future to bluff a bit smaller.

I agree, and also would have raised more.... however, to play devil"s advocate, in this instance the bet size was irrelevent as it was all going in whether he min-raised, shoved all in, or bet anywhere in between. As to being able to bluff cheaply in future.... he"s just been seen to min-raise with the second nuts, so surely next time he min-raises the flop with air, he is likely to get some sort of respect from observant players, and a barrel on the turn is going to look super-strong.
Marty719:
Very true Steve, but I think the purpose of making it bigger is to balance the line. We want our bet-sizing to be the same w/ air and nuts on the flop here, so by raising bigger we get more value from our good hands, and still can rep strong hands for a reduced price in later hands.

come on mikey - keep the bad beats out of the strategy board. You got your money in as a massive favourite and lost.
FWIW - I"d raise more pre and raise more on the flop
.....and I"d run better on the turn and river

Thanks guys, it wasn"t a bad beat story, I genuinely wanted to see how you guys would have played it. And the consenus seems to be that I should have re raised more, so you see I did learn something! But yeah it was sick. ;)

Thanks guys, yes it was a thinly disguised bad beat story, I genuinely wanted you guys to share my pain. And the consenus seems to be that I should have re raised more, so you see I did learn something! And yes, I do wear socks with sandals Wayne.
