Re: Protect the hand?


I noticed the other replies all noted to bet big, and I agree, 100%.  Question
in my mind is, how big of a bet?

I'd go with a pot sized bet.  It makes calling with overcards a mistake, and you
profit, yet doesn't commit a huge amount of your chips to the pot in case
someone is slow playing a big pair or set.

$25 no limit, I'll bet you get alot of callers with just a pot sized bet
though. ;]   Oh well, every mistake they make, you're making $$ in the long run.

Good luck,
Coach
