25NL: I have TPTK facing a turn push

homeslice · #1 06-10-2007, 02:20 PM

Villian has been mildly aggressive throughout the 100+ hands that I've played with him. We haven't played too many hands HU. But this is the first time that I recall him pushing his stack against anyone...

CO ($31.50)
Hero ($89.65)

Preflop: Hero is Button with K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
2 folds, CO raises to $0.75, Hero raises to $3, 2 folds, CO calls $2.25.

He's representing AQ, I guess, and he very well may have it, but I would call, getting over 2:1.

The thing is, micro-NL players these days tend not to just passively let you put them all-in (or at least they don't do that as much as they used to). When they sense that you're playing for their stack and they want to show down, they often put themselves all-in whether they're likely to have you beat or not.

I fold here. What do you beat? I only see AJ and bluffs.

AT, A9, AhXh . . .

I'm going to say, though, that, as Hero, I'm not at all happy about this push.
