  1. The way I would have played this hand is as follows. I would've three bet in the BB to iso. Limper(s) hopefully would've folded. I succeed in getting heads up with the CO. Flop all diamonds. I'm out of position and I need to know where I'm at. Am I way ahead, or way behind? Exploratory bet is about 1/3 pot. If he raises, I possibly fold. If he just calls, then we see the turn. I check, if he bets, I need to see what his sizing is, but, I'm probably calling. The river comes, and I'm probably going to lead out with a min bet just to see what he does. He'll probably raise big and I will make my final decision based on his bet sizing. I'm deep stacked, so I can make a mistake on this hand and not get into too much trouble. I'm still gonna lose this hand, but, I want to give myself opportunity still have a chance from the set over set debacle I found myself in. I may cede control of the pot, by being cautious, but I do so for two reasons, one I'm out of position, and two I'm up against the preflop raiser and 3 diamonds on the flop. Caution: minefield ahead. I don't have a minesweeper, so I have to inch along thru the river and showdown. That's my take. I still lost, and I still have most of my stack and have a better than average chance to be successful in a more favorable position down the road.

  2. Villain PFR 6x probably has a pair, or overcards. After he called the flop check-raise I would check the turn, figuring I don't have fold equity and he could well have a diamond or 2, and may have folded black overcards. My aim is to get a cheap showdown on this dangerous board.

  3. The question is, if we bet 99 for 650 on river should villain Jam or call? Tough
