Default Re: 25NL A8s: How much can I raise here?

It is just like when you are playing a hand and there is a board of A, K, Q, J, T with no possible flushes out there. You push.

[/ QUOTE ]

huh? why in the world would you push when the nuts are on the board? Are you hoping villian is soooooooo incredibly stupid that he can't read the board for the absolute nuts and will fold or that he'll misclick and fold? All you do here is generate more rake and cost yourself money.

If its not the absolute nuts, then go ahead and fire away all you want, but when the friggin nuts is on the board why create more rake?

Please help me understand this.

As for the OPs hand : pushing looks so much like a bluff that you might get paid 1 in 20 times by a 7 that thinks you're full of crap. I think I'd push here.
