SB Bets $50, HERO Raises to $150, SB re-raises to $550, HERO re-raises to $1,335 (all-in)

I'm immediately thinking I'm commited to felting this in an $11 when I see the flop. Was the flop raise enough or should I have gone for more? When I get re-raised is the shove standard, or this deep should I clear out and wait for a made hand?

ya this is fine, getting ai here is automatic/standard etc.

Its hard to tell without any reads, but looking at it, if I was up against a decent player, I would play that hand differently. If SB bets $50 on the flop. That's 1/2 the pot, and I'd think he was wanting a call... he's obviously ensuring that the odds are there for a call. This represents strength on his part. Probably a pair of queens, maybe even two pair.

In that case, I'd call and take the $50 turn card. And then if you miss and he bets strong on the turn, you can get away from the hand and still be in a position to win.

IMHO, the blinds aren't big enough to start trying to desperately draw out on four flushes.

i think you need some fold equity to make this a good play. I am playing cash games like this all day, but the image thing does not work for tourneys.

He also has a gut shot straight draw, so I get my money in here.

This is one of those hands where I think a fold is just as good as a shove.

I'd probably shove....but I really don't think it matters that much what you do here.....

[jafeather]

When I first posted this I was pretty damned sure about the push. The more I think about it the less convinced I am.

I am obviously behind villian right now. What hands make this reraise that I have any FE at all against with a push? I can't imagine AQ getting laid down here too much unless villian is convinced I have a set (I had been playing pretty tight.) Since I've been tight he may have air sometimes...but what else? Do enough hands fold here to make shoving +EV?

In my opinion, no. With the way he's played through the flop, he isn't getting away from his hand.

I would raise more on the flop with the intent of getting it all in.
