if you think you're inducing a bluff here, why are you raising when he bets (bluffs, according to you) on the turn? and worse, a minraise?

if you want to make this play on the turn, check-call, then either check-call again or throw out a blocking bet on the river.

that turn raise is really bad.

Just shove the turn, its less then a PSB.

I see that Button is short stacked. I am hoping -- I am assuming -- that you would never do this if otherwise, or else it would be uglier than Rosie O'Donnell after sleeping face down on a cheese grater.

Against a shorty it's probably fine, but I wouldn't be that excited, nor would I be that surprised if I were beat.

look at the stack sizes... hero just wants the extra $1.35 villain has left

my fault, sorry.

the play is fine.

not all shorties bet when checked to them, so id rather just bet/call on turn.

You mean bet... because you're putting him all-in if you bet.

true, thought he had over a psb left.

you could have the goods, but on the turn he could have hit a jack and you could be in trouble, but it's a decent play because he is shortstacked. decent not good nor great
