Villain is your average limp/call raise with pretty cards. He quite likely to have middle pair, Str8 or flush here.

Bet 450 on flop, shove the turn.

From his read surely shoving the turn is a -EV play no?

That turn card was one of the worst possible you can see. But you're really hurting after that flop bet... you'd have about 700 chips left. Meh. I think there's a high probability you're drawing dead on that turn card. I actually think it's better to check-fold that turn and hope to get lucky with your 700 chip stack - it's better than having ZERO chips because you got all-in drawing dead.

As played it's close, but if we bet 450-500 on the flop and he just calls WE HAVE TO push any turn because we have already committed ourselfto the hand. It is also possible this is some donk with top pair or that turn scared him as much as it does us.

Losing half your stack by folding an unimproved AA before a showdown in a $6.50 is NEVER an ok thing to do in my opinion.

Open Push this flop ?
Seems may a bit oversized, but I like it.

Edit : I tought about it a bit more and I stick with Open Push flop. We are ahead most of the time, its only "400" more then pot, hands like AQ or KQ, even QJ or Q5 will call us and we charge as much as possible from the draws.

push turn i dont like open shoving flop. i think we're losing too much value.

i dont see a ten in villains range other than possibly TT and AT if hes really bad.

seeing as how the queen of spades and jack of spades is on the board, it is unlikely that he has a made flush on the turn.

You need to bet pot on the flop, then the turn is pretty much irrelevant as you will be going ai no matter what hits

Note my read. You could add KT,QT,JT to that range.

On this flop and been OOP shoving the flop may be the right thing to do here. Normally i would think that betting the flop and shoving the turn is better. But with time to reflect there is a lot of the deck that I will not like shoving the turn. Any decent bet on the flop makes a shove mandotary on the turn.
