"don't go broke in a limped pot" -I forget who said this but it seems true here.

I probably just call the initial turn minraise and call a reasonable river bet. As played I'd say fold, it seems overwhelmingly likely that this is a set given the dryness of the board.

I don't like the turn 3-bet. If he's bluffing or thinks 1 pair is good here, better let him bluf/bet the river as well as he's usually going to fold to the raise (although occasionally someone will call you down with A9). If he has better than 1 pair you're splitting at best.

Raising is only good when he's on some kind of draw, but people usually make a real raise then and not a minraise.

What a stupid saying. There's also a saying that says don't go broke with a draw which is [censored]. Top two on this board is the nuts.

[/ QUOTE ]I agree that it's a stupid saying that people like repeating it because it makes them look like they read a gay book but in this hand pushing is retarded. He clearly has at least top two, therefore top two is not the nuts. If the board was more drawy it may in fact be the nuts.

Get it in there. There is literally no other option. He could have picked up a great draw (or just a plain one) or had a worse two pair before (it does happen). Or playing AA in a strange way. Easy shove.
