Rockets against a maniac(?)-fish(?) (NL-400-FR)

DJ Sensei · #1 03-08-2006, 03:30 AM

Villain has been running 60/4 and aggro postflop. Hard to tell if he's crazy, or just capitalizing on his image when he hits a big flop. Very hard to read, and loves to checkraise... So, this is a pretty tough decision.

Obviously, its between pushing and folding. You've got 15 seconds and the timer is ticking down, whats the play?

given your description villian can easily have worse hands like Jx Tx as well as the hands you really fear , so I think a push is resonable .

pretty easy fold IMO
you have to put in 430 more to win 600, and you are either crushed or slightly ahead, and i'd say it's slightly more likely that you're crushed

I fold. That is not a happy flop for aces, a good percentage of the SB's hand range just connected, I muck and find a better spot.
