PS60 L6 AK misses flop and BB leads for 200

[Little John]

Puke. Villian was 47/0 after 53 hands. I did not feeling like jerking around with all the clubs. Look ok?

Anyone like a push preflop? The SB was very solid so I wanted to give him a chance to resteal.

What would you do on a rainbow flop?

whats with that bet? it looks super weak to me.
If i have a really good image ill probably move in on him here with ATC on a rainbow flop.
I think i like an open push PF, try to get called with a9-aq

Preflop is fine. Your raise looks like a steal and you give the blinds a chance to make a play at you. I think you need to call the flop bet...you're just getting too good of a price (6.5 to 1) and villain may slow down on the turn. I don't know...it's definitely "Meh."

I'm lazy, so I'd probably push preflop. As played, I'd fold and type an insulting note on BB.

Would a solid player be less likely to push over your normal raise, thinking that you might be making it to induce a repush? Or am I overthinking things?

I like preflop. You want someone to play back at you. I just fold flop. The A or K of clubs doesn't even help.

I realllllllllllllllllllllllllly want to shove this flop.

[Little John]

Bump.

Pudge - can you explain a bit.

Anyone like a shove preflop. I'm kinda getting tired of raising 12.5 BB's into a loose BB. I want to encourage action from the sb but I wonder if it even matters. He will calll my push with AQ and AJ and possibly AT. So I probably only loose resteal action from A9 A9s KQ KQs.

Well, I think you lose resteal action from quite a bit more hands than you listed. There are some people reshoving with any ace, KT+ and some suited connectors. Also, you lose value when one of the blinds flat calls with a weaker ace or king and goes broke with top pair. I think Pudge wants to shove the flop because the bet looks REALLY weak (looks like a flush draw to me) and you don't have to make him fold that often to make it a good play since there's already so much money out there already.

Nobody ever minbets here with a real hand. Lots of dead shove.
