I'm a little drunk/high whilst posting this, so sorry, but I'm trying to think outside the box a little here.

What course of action do you take here to maximize the chances of getting the rest of his stack? Smooth call, raise the river? Raise 3x and hope he shoves?

Bet bigger on the flop....like 4.25 or more.


I think just callin the turn is best as that Q will scare a lot of A's If you just call the pot and remaining stacks will be about even and if he bets again on river he'll probably feel committed when you shove.

Interesting. If you call the pot will be $23. He only has $25 left. Based on his turn donk bet I expect him to lead river. He will commit himself IMO. May even induce him to shove whole stack. It's key that you have position. If he checks you can still get in a nice value bet and based on turn lead I imagine it's being called. No reason to raise here at all.

I usually smooth call this and shove river. Why scare him off on the turn - you have position and seems to like his hand. He probably has AK, AJ, A10, sometimes 22 (but i dont see him betting his full house on turn). If he bets anything sizable on the river he'll be pot committed, so easy money. However, I think he will check with his Ax for a cheap showdown, so i would put a value bet in 2/3 pot maybe... sometimes I shove, but that's villain-dependent.

I just call on the turn then shove the river if he leads.
