NL50- Small Flush on paired board w/ Action- how\'s my plan?
 

OK, first reads. MP2 is 23/12, is very aggressive when he's in a pot, can 3bet light, and is a fairly good LAG. He also makes some questionable moves (he pushed $99 into a $20 pot against my c/r yesterday when I had a covering stack and then claimed he had air). The whole reason I am at this table is because I have some good notes on him and was able to get a seat in position.

Not too many reads on SB- he seems solid enough, though he called a bet from me with queen high when I was in the blinds and the board paired- he went to showdown without betting and said "I thought so" when I had to show down my bluff.

My plan here is to fold to a raise from SB, but get it all in against MP2- what do you think?

What a puny bet from sb there on the turn...I wonder what that's all about.

Anyway, I like your plan. I'm guessing that MP2 has something like AQ here.

I'm not comfortable giving MP2 the opportunity to call $9 into $33.5 with a possible pair + lone club draw. I raise more the first time around.

[/ QUOTE ]I didn't want to raise more and pot commit myself against a raise from SB, and I believe I am denying MP2 odds since I'll never pay off a flush draw that gets there. Also, given my history with MP2, I didn't expect him to call (I think he pushes or folds).
