This is such a typical situation. You raise before the flop, get called, bet for value and then someone raises you. It seems normal to push aces here, but I feel that I am so often beat here on such a board, where my opponent could easily have two pair or a set. Is this still an easy +EV push?

Funny, I assume he has about the same hand you had on your other post: top pair with a flush draw. I'd have to play my As in this position. If it's two pair or a set, that would be lousy luck. Just hard to give up As here. (Remember, I'm a total amateur, so take with a grain of sea salt.)

Bet more on all streets and push the turn.

PF: I bet 50 minimum in early position, play tighter and more aggressive from EP.

Flop: This is not a very scary flop but you can bet more. He will call if this hits him thinking you have AK or some such. If he has an overpair he is calling so you won't fold anything out by going PSB here, it will just look like you are stealing.

Turn: Make a bigger bet, you are still betting for value at this point expecting loose calls from smaller pairs.

The minraise does often indicate strength (at least in the mind of the villain). Yeah, set and T9(which is quite possible given PF) are definitely in the mix but AT or pair and flush draw are probably more than 50% so I push. You have outs, including plenty against T9, and I think you get called by weaker hands often enough.

This is somewhat villain dependent, against a real passive type I might call cuz they dont raise w/0 the goods and I can probably get to SD cheaply. The raise is too small to consider a fold.
