    Default Set on monotone flop..

    So I'm off work for the afternoon and stars is absolutely Mental, worse than Friday nights! Or maby I just found a few nice tables. Anyway what do you think of my line here. I was thinking the following

    1. Its a good board for him to bluff at so let him have a pop on the flop with his min raise
    2. He's short stacked (ish)
    3. I have a good redraw.
    4. He may have hit his King and be chasing a four flush in which case revenue dries up on river so push....

    yes/no?

    I reraise the flop all in.

    Are you comfortable calling a big turn bet if another spade hits?
    fal04: there's not too many hands i won't play for a quarter if i'm feeling it
    fal04: i'll play 7-2 off if i feel it

    Not really as I thought he probably had at least 1 spade to be pulling a move with.

    I don't really like how you played this either. Either get it all in on the flop, or just call him down (folding if a 4th spade hits on the turn unless you have odds on your 10 outs)

    Note that his suspect $2 bet on the turn was meaningful.
