Hotrod0823: ?????


Now I know I played these Q's pretty straight forward. Maybe my turn bet was too small but it all comes down to how I feel about the river push.

He had this stack coming from the break. He came to the table with this stack so I don't know how he got it. Not that is matters much in the rebuy.

After the flop call I was pretty sure I was ahead. He had a pretty big range given his stack size and my PF raise, the caller and it being his BB.

Anyway, this is not a pretty board anymore. Any 3 beats me, any A, any 2 pair and any flush.

So that brings me to my question which of these if any warrant an allin push???

honestly fold and slap yourself for not shoving the turn.

It sucks, but I fold. Not much you can do here. He obviously isn't folding (so he has something, even if it is a draw).

You can't pay him off with his expected implied odds.

he is basically betting less than the pot after every draw got there. fold.

I know that I bet too little but why shove?

I felt stuck. With 9k behind and a 6k pot is pushing my best bet?

True, his shove doesn't really mean squat. Maybe its more psyc. than anything else.

What percentage of the time is this a BLUFF?
