did you just change the action on my hand? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I'm folding here .

If he's semibluffing then that's ok cause it's correct for him to bluff me out on occasion . If I push all in , I'll only get called by a better hand , but I'll probably only win 525 about close to half the time .

If you overthink this hand you're going to kill yourself.

A shove is terrible in my mind, I'd rather see a call than a shove but I think the correct play is to fold here.

I think this is way more manageable to analyze better than you guys have done so far.

Then you should have worked it out on your own and not posted it [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Ryan, I know you can do much better than "shove = bad, call &gt; fold". Same with you other fellas. Take a minute and really think about whats going on in the hand.

Re: $110 HUSNG -- Most interesting hand in a while...
 

On a scale of 1-10 , how often would you guess that you are beat?

On a scale of 1-10 , how many better hands do you think he would fold if you shove ?

On a scale of 1-10 , how often is he semibluffing here ?

You have no choice but to guess these answers based on feel and experience .

OK lets play a game. Pretend you're a world class poker player. Say you're Phil Ivey or Daniel Negreneau. You show them these hands and you ask them... what do you think about this spot? How would they analyze it?

Re: $110 HUSNG -- Most interesting hand in a while...
 

You are both playing what seems like an aggressive pf game. His limp call looks very strong to me. This can mean a big ace, but his range is so wide here it is impossible to put him on anything.

On the flop, there are a ton of hands that beat yours. obviously any ace, AA, 1010, 88, and 10 8. Villain can have one of those, or be on one of the numerous draws on the board.

As played im assuming he has an ace and that im beat
