Hi all!
Here I was wondering whether it is a good idea to raise preflop with this hand since I was pretty sure that I would get at least 2 callers since these players were really weak and would limp-call with hands like 79s or K4s and it would be hard to play post flop if I dont hit which is more likely to happen.
OTF I was thinking whether I should go directly all-in since the pot was a bit more than 1/2 my stack so If I could win it right there it would be a good result and I still have 2 overcards if someone calls.
Then I thought that If I make a big bet which is about 3/5 pot (but still leave some chips behind to eventually bluff the turn) it would be more believable that I have something like an orerpair, just like a non-all-in all-in.
Do you think I could have played this hand better?
Cheers!
