Hmm...I guess I would probably just shove post-flop. Nothing wrong with taking this down right here.

You are only really scared of 4 hands here - 10 10 and 7 7 (duh) plus AA and KK. You are a slight favourite over any pair. I can see both c/bing and taking the free card in position. I'd literally flip a coin in my head and just go with my gut on this one. Did he insta-call your R/R or think about it?

hero shoves i mean unless u playin to take 16k to the final table and the villain is acting weak (he might b plannin the check shove) but even so then u have outs and this could b a huge pot to take down and there is 1/3 of ur stack in the pot. So pickin it up here is gonna improve ur stack a pretty good deal. So im willing to gamble hear to take it down

Oops, misread stack sizes - yeah, I guess you have to shove the flop, given the pot size, villain's stack. And watch him turn over AA. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] Even against AA you have some outs. There is no way this AQ unless he is a complete moron. His call of your r/r OOP for 1/3 of his stack is highly suspicious. He is either a fool or has a real good hand - I would not be surprised at all to see AA or KK here.

This doesn't make sense to me. Why give him a chance to get away when he only has 2 outs (b/c the Qc is awesome for you).

I'd check behind on this flop and call if he shoves on the turn.

def. bet pot, I think JJ and QQ are more likely than AA or KK, but betting is your play.

Why does everyone want to bet?

Is he calling with a worse hand? If so what are they?

Is he folding a better hand? If so which ones?

Is our hand vulnerable if it is ahead? If so to which hands that villain holds?
