Bad? No solid read on villain yet (slightly Lag) except for this PF raise of his.

edited the buy-in...this was a 27, not a 60 FWIW

i do this sometimes. i probably would of pushed on the flop, though.

It's fine, especially if you think he will fold to a shove. I mix in this too especially with such a big raise.

effectively, vs. a few opponents shoving or making this raise has the same effect, but as gator said if you think hes likely to fold to a shove this looks good. either way looks fine to me.

I don't like it, was it 99 or AK?

I don't remember, but it was something stupid like KQo, or AJo.

i think youre putting villain on far too narrow of a range here.

I think PF is fine. With the size of his raise PF, he's taken care of the hand elimination aspects...all but ensuring us position post as well. Leaving him with impetus to the flop is a lot of fun, but a judgment call type thing I guess. Flops just like this one could squander value from the PP's that MAY have called your shove PF.

Looks good to me.

Normally I'll re-raise with AA but I like just calling in this situation with the intention of pushing over the top of villain's bet on the flop. In most cases villain's big bet is going to scare off everyone else which will leave you playing heads up and you'll be in position. I can see putting in a re-raise PF if you think you'll be able to get a call but otherwise I think calling is good.

On the flop I think your raise is fine, though I'd probably just push over the top on the flop and hope he was holding KK or AK.

Obviously you think so, I see these sorts of overbet raises all the time from hands 99-JJ and AK, fairly solid read, only thing I don't like about this hand is he gives away a chance to commit villian preflop, raising this to 550 is much better in my opinion, he'll call with the hands I mentioned, and do you really think if he's dumb enough to do this with more hands he can be capable of folding them. Anyway whats the point of this, you just give him a chance to get away or flop huge and bust you.
