nah this is fine

turn - push, what's the problem? Unlikely he has a set from flop play and anyway you are comitted now.

Meh, you might have just gotten sucked out on, but there's no way to tell. I think you've gotta take this to the mat.

All-in.

Wrong!

AA, KK, QQ, JJ, Tx and T7 don't "get you". Only sets on the flop and 9T 97 have you beat here. Push. You might lose this hand, but if you push this every time you will make money.
