$6 2-table STT - Good spot for a move?
 

My thought here was that the situation was prefect to scoop up the pot provided the the villain was not holding any A.

what about pocket pair? you had the weakest hand and you pushed, with two dominating cards on board, with no set...? i know i wouldn't, check the flop, if villain bets, fold.

I don't see the villain calling without some kind of a hand, maybe 7 with high kicker, or even maybe pocket pair, since he limped in from UTG...the only hand that you have beaten in this situation is pocket 2 [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] it's unlikely he called your push with them...

I figured I could get him to fold anything that wasn't an A. Hoping he'd be afraid of me having one. I wasn't too concerned with him flopping two pair or a set.

The more I review this hand, the more I think an even stronger play would have been to push pre-flop.

push pf &gt;&gt;&gt; going all in on the flop. I don't know about you, but I see people calling with junk here all the time. Plus, limping from UTG probably means a small pp, suited A-rag. If you're lucky it's like KJo or something. I don't know, I'm c/f that flop. Like you said, the time to make your move was pf, not once the flop came out.

Re: $6 2-table STT - Good spot for a move?
 

I don't like this play because a lot of players will limp/complete with ace-rag hands and go all the way with them if they pair their ace. If you decide to play this hand you should definitely shove preflop or hope to flop 2 pair+.

As played, I like a check-fold.

Hm, I check/fold
I see players calling with A-x all the time at this level
