Reads and thoughts...

Villian has only played 2 hands so no reads here.

I reraise to isolate villian since everyone limped and i wanted to have postion with the intention of calling a push.

On the flop he checks to me so it seems like i have to cbet. (Do i?) And if i do how much should it b here since the pot is so big in comparison to our stacks. Do i want to make it ig enough to commit me to a push or should it be something weaker so i can easily fold my measly 2 overs?

I think I would go ahead and make it 8.5 pf and just shove any flop.

if i raise to 8.5 pre wut is ur line if villian leads this flop? still looking to get it in?

i am calling PF and pushing most often when an A or K hits the flop. I think the RR PF her does very little good for us besides bloat the pot.

On that flop, obv just fold.

On a A/K high, obv call.

Reraise to about 8 preflop, and if villain checks to you push, but if villain leads, fold (on this flop).

I think this is too aggressive. For those advocating the push on the flop what are you assuming his range is?

Board: Qs 9s 3d
Dead:

Hand 1: 75.6457 % 65.44% 10.21% { 99+, AQs+, AQo+ }
Hand 2: 24.3543 % 14.15% 10.21% { AhKs }

Hand 1: 74.3205 % 61.33% 12.99% { JJ+, AQs+, AQo+ }
Hand 2: 25.6795 % 12.69% 12.99% { AhKs }

Unless my range is way off I don't see how we nearly have enough fold equity against a typical opponent at 25NL.
If villian is willing to call your PF reraise with AQ you are NOT going to get him to fold it. I think we only get called by hands that dominate us: AA, KK, QQ, AQ+ or will just split the pot if lucky. If anything the Ace is probably our only clean out if he didn't hit a set.
I'd like some feedback on this because I play aggressive preflop but slow down if I miss.

(And adding all pocket pairs to villians range only increases our equity by about 2%)

this line seems rediculous. if i call pf the pot will be like 5.50 or sumtin and i will have like 23ish behind. how on earth am i pushing the flop?

after i have thought about it today i think i like the line of reraising 8 or 8.5 pre and then giving up if villian bets into me when no A or K hit and the pushing any flop when checked to. by reraisng preflop it gives me a ton of FE on the flop and imo wut makes this play profitable. so i have to use that when cheked to but must also give up when bet into. i wish effective stacks were much deeper here so that i would have more room to play.

I actually think you're right, kaz. I don't like the line I suggested either.
