Pre-flop: (6 players) EMC is CO with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
UTG folds, <font color="#cc0000">UTG+1 raises to $2</font>, EMC calls, 3 folds.

<font color="blue">I have position and a hand that makes big hands. Read on SB is that he is really lose, so I expected an overcall, but whatever </font>

He has an overpair and he's not (strike that: NEVER EVER) folding it. Call. Note that an A or 2 river is probably not getting paid off.

I call. I'd estimate your FE at around 0 here. He's never going to put you on a 4, and he probably calls a raise with 66+.

Preflop is fine. I would raise or fold on the flop. If you think villain cbets a lot with air, a flop raise may take it down for you a good % of the time. As played, I would raise the turn. With your stack, a push is only ~$7 more than a pot sized raise, so just shove and hope for the best.

If he has 55,44,33,54, or 43, make sure you river the 2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

He can have an overpair, so I'd call the turn and catch a heart on the river.

Agreed. Both the wheel and the flush are pretty obvious. Lot of guys just can't let go of that big pair though.

EM, I call. Also, you need to move back up, from what I remember of playing with you, you are way too good for the 50 game.

We beat air.

If we raise, we are donating to him if he actually has something. If he has air, he probably shuts down on the turn, and we take the pot anyway.

Thanks a lot for the encouragement. I had to withdraw 1/2 my roll, so here I am.

Who cares if he has air, raising with the sole intent of taking the hand away from overcards here is fine IMO. Bascially, every single turn card is a scare card in some way, unless it pairs the board/is a heart, and even then, we are likely go get blown off of our hand, or end up trying to call down and being in a [censored] position on the river.

If it is a heart, there is a damn good possibility we end up putting more money in the pot just praying with really, no idea where we stand if this guy will fire second barrels.
