    No hindsight for the blind.

    Default 200NL draw play

    BB is aggressive postflop, but over a small sample. I haven't seen anything showdowns from him before.

    MP1 is a big donkey calling station, and I think I'll often be getting pot odds to draw if BB bets flop and MP1 calls, so I call preflop. Following the same read I check behind flop. My thinking is that I have next to no FE, and if I hit I'm probably going to be able to build a big pot on turn and river anyway.

    After MP1 folds on the turn (for once :P) I figure I can raise it up against BB's weak bet, possibly getting a fold but at least setting up a big river bet if I hit. How is my raise size? When he three-bets me for the minimum after his weak lead I figure he's got something he likes and is stupdily slowplaying, possibly AK or a set, so I call and look to get all in if I hit either draw.

    Thoughts?

    I bet the flop checked to in position because I want to rep an ace if he's holding a lower overpair. The check screams draw/whiff. As played, if I have "next to no FE", then I just call the turn. He's pricing you in so take it.

    i think betting the flop is a better line here in position. Bet ~$15ish and then check behind on the turn if you dont hit.
    eeevees are not monies yet...they are like baby monies.
