I have gone for the bet £8, because, we have been flat called when we bet £6, so villain is either trying to trap, has flushing/straightening pos or has air, we need to find out where we are, so a C bet is in order, if villain has air, they will more than likely fold, if they have the hand they will prob smooth call, we can then re evaluate on the turn card.
I'm betting £8 here, I'm thinking he's either hit and he's going to come over the top, or he just want's to see a free card. I've still got a couple of chance's of catching something if he call's. If he reraise's I'm probably out of there, unless I think he's stealing.
The flop itself seems pretty dry and messy, so if he / she has called a riase pre-flop I'd potentially have him on high-ish cards (slightly idealistic, I understand), but I feel like they would be more likely to fold to a pot-sized bet here with KJ for example.
Also, if he has a hand like 10 J, then a £12 bet takes away his odds of calling for the gut-shot completely.
Then if we get a re-raise then I'd fold it all the way, but I think the strong bet gives us the impetus of the hand.
Finally, it minimises the chances of a bluff re-raise from the Villain.
Im betting £8 all day long. Hes either checked a big pair which he has called £6 pre-folp or he has an ace high and probably can't call or come back over the top. If he does have a bigger pair to the board he will raise my bet and i will be folding pretty fast!
P.S, Rich you said my player alias wrong. Its rico, as in ricoh stadium (coventrys home ground), rambo and then 3 (my lucky number), so ricoramb03!
