You just flat called the flop to over bet shove the turn... hmm. I would be tempted to look you up with any pair. EDIT: which would make this a great play with say AA.

What legitemate hand takes this line?

[KneeCo]

Meh, I like floats as much as the next guy and I guess as soon as you call the donk you have to push the turn.

But given that he's thinking, knows you are as well and knows your not RR light pf, I think he's looking to get it in when he donks the flop more often than he's looking to get a fold from a tight range on a rag flop. So I might just fold to the donk this time (I feel dirty writing it, but I think it's reasonable).

[FGators]

I think your line looks pretty FOS. Given his weak lead I jam the flop here and hope hes good enough to muck a medium pair. JJ/QQ likely push preflop and I don't think he plays KK/AA this way.

There might be some fold equity in the way of him tossing like 89s,910s if you push the flop but guys don't give you much credit here.

[Bakes]

so your saying he puts me on an overpair if i push, but air if i call? that doesn't seem right vs a thinking player.

also allin is not overbet, its for almost = pot.

150 blinds+900PF+800flop=1950. you're betting 3400... not following. Wouldn't we make a smaller bet, to get all the money in on the river, giving him odds. If we had monster.

Obviously you played this hand based on past history and it's very player dependant. I can't see anyone saying this is a great line, without having your past experiences. Not saying that it isn't. But I don't think we can accurately guess what level of thinking you two guys are playing at. etc. etc.

Call with a decent hand on the flop that hasn't really gotten there yet but has potential just to see what villian does on the turn. People often do it when they know villian is c-betting 100% of the time, with the intention of taking the pot on the turn when they expect a check.

I agree with Kneeco here. This hand is really player dependant, so if you felt its right that's fine but it doesn't sound like this guy would tangle with you without at least a decent hand here. He opened from EP, and called your rr (and you say he probably knows you don't rr light). Yet he's still choosing to be aggressive. Unless he's gone nuts, he probably has you beat.

[Sherman]

I think this is ok. Many people don't realize that this is actually a semi-bluff (rather than a straight bluff). You likely have 6 outs to the best hand if villain calls with TP or an overpair.

Edit: Which is why it is better that you do this w/AK than say 77 or TT.

lol at floating me on that board after already reraising me 3 times before this in the same tournament.
