standard/spew/alternate line??

ya man, this is an ultra spew. I don't see why you thought you were folding him here.

He isn't playing KK like this/ nor any other hand that you could push him off, and You certainly aren't ahead.....

[Big_Jim]

If you think that there is a high probablility that he is floating you, and you are making this play for VALUE, then it's okay.

As a bluff, it's total spew.

Hahaha.
I totally agree this hand is a horrible spew. I posted this hand so that it would remind me not to make such a stupid move/spew again, hopefully.
Now, lets switch sides. What is the minimum hand we need to call the c/r allin? First time posting a poll, sorry if it sucks [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

[DJ Sensei]

The problem with your poll is that TAG villain will not play many of these hands like that. In fact, AsKh is about the only one I might play like he did, maybe KhKx. The rest i'm folding preflop (and I assume most other good TAG's will as well).

With some of those hands betting the turn is attrocious in certain spots.

[creedofhubris]

Once he puts in half his stack on the turn there is zero chance he is folding.

That is not a bluff, that is a pot-committing bet.

This is true. OP, if you were planning on taking this to the felt I think your ideal line would be to open push turn since it has tons more FE than this line.
