Re: Raise with A7o, BB leads into raiser on 542 flop
[ QUOTE ]
Who is Anette_15? Does she call HJ raises, then bet rag flops with air only to fold to a reraise? If not, we're in bad shape. She might have air, but that's the ONLY thing we can beat. More importantly, I think air is probably the only hand we are pushing out. I think it's a fold.

I think she could be folding a lot more than air here to a raise. I honestly don't know how she plays, and considering she's a good player this is probably a fold. Against weak players though, I think they let a LOT of hands go that have you beat, even dominated. Players don't like a raise PF and then get raised on their flop bet.
I'm probably massively swayed by the fact that I'm used to like $5-$22 rebuys and not $109+R against quality players. And I'm probably also swayed by the fact that I float air here against a weak player a lot. Although, clearly betgo is not a weak player, and nor is Annette.
I hate a shove here though. I think that's the worst play possible as you're pushing a lot of chips into a pot and she doesn't fold much that she wouldn't have folded to a smaller raise, in which case a small raise would've accomplished this. I also think she's calling a push more than a smaller raise.
If she calls the raise and checks the turn, I'm pushing. If she pushes the flop, I'm folding. If she calls the raise and pushes the turn, I'm folding. This is probably a HUGE leak in my game, but at least in lower buy-ins I've found plays like this to be a great way to pick up chips.
