Thread: Pushing the Envelope at Live 4/8

That's your flop. You claimed to have big cards, and there's one out there for you to bet at. Not c-betting the flop is bad.

As played, if you are gonna raise this then play it. Bet this on the flop. You can bet the flop, then you can decide on the turn what to do next. Maybe you can use a free turn card if you get a few calls on the flop to try and spike an Ace or hit your gutter. Try not to spike the 4s tho PF-@ 4/8 with the rake, it is a lot different than playing this at like 20/40 where you may actually knock out the blinds and get it HU with EP limper. I prob...

If the blinds aren't going to fold, I would fold this preflop. If they would, it's marginal, but OK IMO. I would bet this flop and most turns (depending on # of callers and what the turn card is). As played, the turn is an easy bet.

A terrible loose-passive person limps, and I raise A 3 from the Button. Both blinds call, as does the initial limper. 4 to the flop for 2 bets each. 2 5 K (7.5 SB) Checks around. Turn is the 5 (3.75 BB) Checked to Hero who bets.

I fold pf.

Pf could be right, depends on his post flop tendencies. As played, when you raise pf, bet this flop when cheked to.

Having played a lot of live 4/8 I can understand folding, calling or raising preflop in the spot you describe. However, once u decide to raise stay aggressive or be prepared to be outdrawn with garbage.
