This really has to be the best 2+2 thread I have ever read.
My sides actually hurt after reading it, of course it probably helps that I didn't have to wait over a year and in the last 11 months at least we have managed to expose one extra card, its a shame we havent yet clarified the action on that card.

Also I love the way Assani questions people suggesting the all in play on every street, isn't that always the correct play? You could push pre-flop against a guy who is probably slowplaying a monster and risk 17k to win 700... standard?

Seriously though, I think pre-flop is fine, this will be very +EV in the LR if a raise is pretty unlikely behind and this guy probably has a monster, is likely to let us catch and then stack him. Also I think playing soooooted 45 here will randomise our play enough and give us some additional value in playing the hand.

Flop check, Turn check. I would rather play this way and give myself an opportunity to stack EP on the river is we hit and he has a monster than risk being r/r, or putting ourself in a position where we have to bluff to win the pot on the river if we get called and miss. Obviously betting has the bonus of building the pot, which will make stacking our opponent easier without overbetting somewhere. Also I think it is very likely someone has an Ace here and we wont be getting rid of everyone and taking the pot. I could probably go on about this for a bit, although Im afraid it would be a waste of my time because we may never know the river and I might not get to discuss this hand further.

So to summarise, push all in on turn.
