urgh, that's uuuugly

read dependent really, but most of the time I can't see your aces being good here. Can you see him doing this with AQ/KQ? Not usually

This is really read dependent. If villian is loose and aggresive, I pretty much shoving everytime. In a vaccume though I just fold.

Raise the flop much more, push it in after his 3bet. Villain is sitting with 73 bbs, just get it in anyway you can.

Raising the flop more is horrible. Anything more than a PSB pretty much turns our hands face up.

Man if you guys think my advice is dumb please tell me.

Against unknowns I will push flop here all day. Against a tag I prolly fold to his RR. I've been called w/ tp here so much lately (I do play on PS however). People play AQ/KQ/QJ like its the nuts when they hit top pair. I need reads to fold IMO. You have backdoor draws and he's only 75 bb deep so I push here.

a pot sized bet would make the raise about 7.5. Which is what I would do and then prolly call. I think he is pushing a strong draw here a lot (but maybe because I would). Too read dependent to say for sure.

Shove over the top on the flop..Raise a larger amount to 6-7 on the flop..Villain doesnot have a full stack and he will be pushing TP or draws often enough to be +EV..

Based on PF action the only hand I would fear is 88..QQ re-raise and TT will re-raise PF a good % of the time..J9(nut straight) would slowplay or C/R..At this level they love to slowplay and C/R monster rarely do I see someone lead with a sets..

you are an idiot.

OP, plz raise to more than 3x the bet on the flop. the minraise is what turns your hand face up. be a man, put in a solid raise. then once he raises, SHOVE!
