Just put him all-in on the turn. Other than that, I like your line on all streets. Now call.

He was already all-in don't know why it doesn't show.

Villain checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t600</font>

I mean here. I would have bet all-in instead of t600 here.

I thought I was either up against AA (very unlikly) or I was a huge favourite. I didn't want to give him the odds to call for a straight draw, that's why I chose this amount.
Didn't mind him raising all-in though.

I'd put him all in on the turn, don't give anymore free cards if he has any draw

Ok I can see your lines of thought of putting him all-in, but betting 600 at a 1080 stack pretty much gives him the option to fold or raise all-in.
Perhaps I'm trying to be to smart, but I thought the 600 would scare him less than an all-in. I wanted him to go all-in.

While your line of thinking works well against non-thinking players, it won't ever work against someone who thinks.

A thinking player with your opponents stack-size would realize that if he moved All-In, it could only be for value because he has Zero fold equity.

However, I don't think your line is bad against non-thinking players. I see them do this often not realizing that there is zero chance of you folding.

Thank you for the comment shermn27. But wouldn't a thinking player know that the 600 represents a bet to not let him draw?
It's a bit of a cash-game argument, but does it hold?

I'm playing pretty straight forward ABC poker I suppose on these small levels, and I think I may be trying to outsmart myself sometimes.
