$50 HUSNG -- I have Aces. My opponent has?

no way he has 33, 22, or 44 and I find it hard to believe that he has a flush here i would put him on 56, 46 or an overpair....CALL

i think if you posted the whole hand history or atleast the last 10-15 hands before this, it would be a more interesting post

Yeah, if this guy has a hand like a flush or a full house, he'd slowplay a bit more, rather than going all-in and getting no value. He might bet out and bet the turn, but not an all-in bet. The all-in bet says "I'm protecting something vulnerable" like red Tens or something. I would call, and expect to see a smaller overpair.

i think he has an overpair + flush draw. call expecting to see 7s7h.

Have to call, no way he puts you on an overpair after that flop call. You're probably way ahead more often than behind there. Even if you are behind you have outs.

I would have reraised the flop to 420 though and hope the money goes allin there with him having 55+. Another spade coming off might kill your action.

Well, the way I figured it was that I was not vulnerable to many cards, so why not give a free card and make it seem like I am on the flush draw? If he has a 2, I am screwed either way. If a spade comes, it might even slow him down so that we dont have to get it all in with me as an underdog. If he has a 3, its unlikely we're going to get it all in anyway.

So I gave him a free card. The third spade hits and he pushes. I honestly put him on and overpair with a spade draw too, to which I am a huge favorite. I also thought he might have a 3xKs, 4xKs, something like that.

He actually had 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. River blanked and I lost. I'm not unhappy with the way I played it. GG him, I guess.

I think you are vulnerable to a lot of cards but I like the idea of trying to make it seem like you are weak. As played, I don't see how you can get away from this hand. I think posting the hand history will be helpful.

That's too ugly of a flop to get cute with. Your hand is not likely to improve and his is. I still like a reraise on the flop. He could have easily had an overpair. If I put him on something like QsXs then I reraise big because I want as much money in the pot as possible on the flop. Since I doubt he puts you on aces he might think his high card is live.
