Re: Shaniac Min-Check-Raises Me
First inpression: I think you are ahead, but I am not sure you are folding better hands.
this is a pretty good flop for you. The push folds worst hands like 76s that you won't mind in. It also folds overs wich in my opinion is not that bad.
The problem is that he is likely to call with hands that beat you and nothing else.
Your push is not representing AA or KK. The flop is very good for those hands, they are way ahead of everything except trips or a FH. So if you push, they loose a lot of value.
ooops, now I look at the size of your stack compare to the pot. You have to raise and commit yourself, so you may have to go broke here. And yes, Js and Ts will have a hard time to call this(QQ+ is now back in your range). IMO TT-JJ are unlikely as i guess he would have raised more with those to safely fold to a 3-bet all in.
From the result it looks like he took a stab. This is a great spot for him to do so as he commits 18000 to win 26000 on a flop you likely missed and then forces you to fold or push so you will be the one risking your stack not him.
Your half pot sized bet followed by the 3-bet all in worked very well in that hand and extract the most value without going to the turn.
