$5.50 FTP 90 Man Deep Stack Overpair OOP against rare re-raise

[ger664]

Villian was 40/10 over 60-70 hands at this point. He would bet/call but rarely raise. What is your line from this point forward ?

Push b/c you're probably ahead a lot of the time. AA he probably would've raised PF (and woudld've stacked you anyways). 55/66/TT are usually smooth calling on this safe flop that likely missed your hand. TPGK/JJ/QQ might often play this way.

The buyin was in the subject. Its a $5.50. Also there is ~30 players left at the time of this hand. these have a very flat payout as in top 18 pay.

all the hands that beat us will get all chips in anyway, all the hands that we beat might either draw out on us (AT) or get scared by a turn card.
I push here and it's not close

yeah push and hope he just has top pair and calls and you hold up or if he has nothing he folds and you get a the pot there and then.

so as long as we have no idea what is villain's holding i think we have to try to figure it out.
i don't like these all or nothing pushes if there is not a concrete idea behind.
if you think a push gives you some fold equity against a better hand - than yes - push.
if you think that a push is called by a hand worse than ours - again yes - push.
but only to end this hand quickly, where we mostly will hold a winning hand with a push is a no no for me.
i think we have to try to extract as much value as possible out of these high +EV hands.
