in this spot i used a low squeeze play because i wanted someone to come over the top.
and if i got 2 callers i might hit aflop without an ace and gain a huge pot here.
so i got my two callers and a sucky flop.
i decided to check and induce a bluff.
i wouldnt have called the bigger stack but the low stack should push with anything here if noone bets.
so he did. and i got an easy call here
should i bet this flop out going broke against the small stacks or is the bluff induce the better play here ?
imo BIG mistake here is preflop raise
if u want for some 1 to go over the top u got to make him do that so u got to make him all in / fold dilema
so u must raise here min pot size raise something like 2500 cause with pot is more than 2k if u just call it and if u raise it to 2500 u make them 2k to call to see flop. they are geting good odds as same as u raise 2k
BUT
1.MP1 got to call 2/5 of his stack to see flop and if calll he will be left with 3k in pot of 7k so he should better push or fold cause how he can fold flop if he missed???
2.MP3 got to call 1/3 of his stack to see flop and if calll he will be left with 4k in pot of 7k so he should better push or fold ( this is if mp1 folds)
if MP1 calls if he just call he will be left only with 4k in pot of 9k how can he just call here??? and than fold flop if he missed???? so is push or fold
3. finaly BU how can he call 2k more with his left 4k commiting himself 1/2 of his stack and than folding if he mised????
and they all need to think that the other guy after them can shove after they flat call so u put them in a very tough spot with just a little bit biger raise preflop.
so u got good idea bu i do it that bad in practice.
so imo u should raise min to 2500 and be happy if every 1 folds and win that big pot right away, also be happy if any1 push and u then repush all in
P.S. another thing about that check/call line on flop why u just flat call that BU push?? would u fold if mp3 check/push all in after BU push and u call????
i like that check on flop but just call???
couse mp3 in that point got something like 4700 so u call BU and pot is now ~12k and now mpr3 push 4700 all in and u got to call 2k more to play for ~19k pot with ur 2k call in so are u folding if MP3 push for just 2k more???.
i think NO so u should push it ur self when BU push
