Yeah, I'm pushing this.

[callme]

He obviously likes his hand - so if you push, he wont fold very often. If i get reraised with such a hand i dont hesitate often and push. Another reason for the push - two other people in the pot with 2 FD on board - its quite likely that one of the guys has a FD and is calling along - so in that case the turn would be the last chance to get value from him if he calls your push (at this levels people hardly can lay down their FD) cuz on the river he will have you beat or fold...

So i would say push..

[mattnxtc]

easy push...not close at all..make him pay to chase his flush

odd play by CO, calling the min bet and reraising after that. But yeah, push - its a bit of an overbet, but you'll get CO to call for sure. CO MAY show you AJ, but not often enough for this to be right.

I pushed on the turn and CO DID show AJ. It's my second day at nl and just wanted to make sure i wasn't spewing.

[Iconoclastic]

You're spewing preflop and on the Flop. It's a -EV situation. On the Turn since you've gotten here pushing is best. But now you must learn to avoid situations where you either win a little or lose a lot like this one.
