no reads. note: i bet 780 on the turn because that was villians remaining stack, so technically i was pushing there.. so don't make a lame post telling me to push turn. better lines?

How did SB lose 1/3rd his stack?

[b33nz]

jeez, i dunno this hand happened more than a month ago. does it really make a difference, tho? even if he was a good player here.. would he have played a flopped set/2 pair/top pair this way?

[SlackerMcFly]

I like your line. Can't give a free card, can't really c-bet.....

Nothing else to do here but put him all-in as you know he is calling or shoving given his stack.
With your 10 outs (assuming he has a King), you are in good shape to win.

But I'm a sucker for OESD hands. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] Slack

Seems fine to me. I think he will fold often enough for this push to be profitable in itself. And those times he does call and have you beat you will suck out on the river quite a bit.

[fluorescenthippo]

didnt iweargoggles post a similar hand with like exactly the same flop and such

[b33nz]

yes he did, and i was thinking that while making this post [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] ...

[AMT]

i dont mind this line...i mean what does he have that youre behind of here? set? im not sure i mind this line at all, nh

[FeNeF]

Assuming he has a king? Why would you do that? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Anyway, I play it the same. NH.
