Thank you for your insightful analysis and welcome to 2+2 forums. If you didn't detect my sarcasm, please go to FAQ. You should include some kind of analysis with your posts that go beyond "pretty wild, IMO," because "pretty wild, IMO" is exactly the kind of fast food, level 1 bordering across level 2 opinion, which leads to unprofitable plays.

Having said that, sir, I think you are correct, the play was pretty wild, and I should have smooth called.

Barry

See, I disagree. You have AT on and A high board in a bvb battle against an agg opponent. Thats pretty good. It's easy to say "what worse hand calls a push?", but we've all seen bad players felt it with bad A's or even flush draws.

Whether villian does stack off in this way (or if he bets his K on the flop incidentally) depends on whether villian is a good or bad player.

Depending on this and whether we put villian on a hand he will stack off with, pushing MAY be the best way to maximize value.

I typically c/c here against an aggressive player because I like to give them the opportunity to continue bluffing. This is to maximize value though, not to be cautious.

Like most bvb battles it comes down to what we know about our opponents tendencies and what hands we put them on.

I'd rather be one of those sweet mouthed silent sharks who is all like "gg, I love you, I win, no, no, you played that hand swell."

made me laugh, i find myself doing this lately... like when I four bet kings and bust a guys that calls with AT and goes broke on a ten high flop. "gg, what a cooler, AT is usually good there."
