[02$ NL - FR] Big Slick Mades Me Poooooosh PF

[DannieUke]

I could have donked all night...

No reads on anyone -- this was my third hand at the table, and I just took the previous pot on a c-bet.

Do you make such a horny move facing a PF re-raise? Do you just call LuckMonger when he goes AI? Or do you push it to try and freeze out NitHead? Do you hate AKs?

I would have been lame and folded to those first two raises because AK OOP in a possibly multiway bloated pot sucks. However, as played I think it's perfectly fine. For the first raise to .54, It's much better than simply calling and be vulerable to short stack's possible push and probaly be pushed out on the flop if you don't hit.

The push is good as played, because the pot will be too big on the flop anyways. Pot would be 2.99 and the other guy has 3.27 left anyways. Missing and getting pushed out would suck. It's also good to for a chance to isolate the short stack.
