Should I just shove here? How about making it 12ish? Smaller/bigger? Does anyone out there think for a second that I might not be way in the lead here? If so, why? Better line on any street? No reads on villain, PAHud hasn't even picked him up yet.

While I'm at it, does anyone have a converter for Prima/Ladbrokes?

Raise turn.

Turn is a raise.

I never normally slow play, but this is one of the few occasions where I chose too. It's a rainbow board, and a double barrel into the pre-flop raiser with an OESD is something you see on these tables like next to never. I think raising turns my hand pretty much face up, and then he's either folding (most likely), coming over the top to push me off a weak 6 because he's really clever, and I have to fold (least likely), coming over the top with a better 6 (or boat, etc), and I have to fold (mildly likely), or hanging in there for a small amount with QJ, and then c/fing the river (somewhat likely). If he has a better 6, I want a cheap river to boat up. If he has TPWK I want to give him the chance to make TTP, then felt him, or I want the river to be like an 8 so I can represent A8, and get him to call my raise after he makes another tiny bet.

So that's why I slow played, what's the thought process behind not doing so in this spot?

to build a pot!

to build a pot!

Well... yeah. The idea is to win the biggest pot possible, or loose the smallest pot possible. I don't think anyone disagrees with that, the debate is how best to achieve that, not whether or not it needs to be achieved.

So why does raising do that better than calling in this spot? I'm not saying raising is flat out bad, I just think calling is better here.

[lolzzz_321]

Because he still calls with a Queen, and probably calls with 45
