Easy push

If stacks were deeper a case could be made for calling

[Hoffma]

Yeah, you can call with deep stacks to help you extract more on later streets, but this push plays itself IMO. Villain is committed, and if he calls and you lose it's variance. Your equity is huge, especially against his range.

Agree with the push after the villain's flop bet, but why are you checking that flop? Pre-flop action indicates that villain is holding a very strong hand with which he will likely raise any reasonable bet. I'm betting 3/4 pot on the flop (~$11) and expecting to be raised.

I have a question: why is this a call preflop with stack that small? It's well outside the 5/10 rule. Is it because of his fishy stats?

[ettorek]

Usually in this spot after a reraise i fold anything but pp: of course I could still push with AA and, sometime KK.
I know that after a reraise pf I could be behind but if I hit I can stack my opponent:
I think I played wrong here because I hadn't enough implied odds to make such a play.

Easy c/r ai on flop.

PF is a mistake and a leak given your villian's stack size. Fold to his 3b.

PS. You have a set not trips.

set = you have 88, flop comes 984, you have a set
trips = you have KJ, flop comes JJ4, you have trips

[creamfillin]

What are minimum odds for villains stack size to call a reraise, also when factoring odds, do you calculate how much the reraise size is or the total money you committed preflop.

?

[ajmargarine]

Generously speaking, you take how much you have to call, multiply it by 10, if you can't win that much, fold.

thanks!

Thanks AJ, I have learned something new: one leak of mine is to understand when to call a reraise given the raiser stack vs mine. /images/graemlins/smile.gif
