Default Suicide is painless

MP/CO are tags, BTN is LP.

Fwiw, I pull this kind of crap far less often than my last couple of post indicate.


Party Poker, $5/$10 NL Hold'em Cash Game, 6 Players
LeggoPoker Hand History Converter

MP: $1,501.35
CO: $1,100
BTN: $939.66
Hero (SB): $985
BB: $5,435.50
UTG: $209.50

Pre-Flop: 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] dealt to Hero (SB)
UTG folds, <font color="red">MP raises to $40</font>, CO calls $40, BTN calls $40, <font color="red">Hero raises to $220</font>, 2 folds, CO calls $180, BTN calls $180

Flop: ($710) A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 Players)
<font color="red">Hero bets $765 and is All-In</font>

This looks fine but I think something I also like doing is checking two streets and then shoving river cuz that's apparently how everyone plays AA/QQ/AQ here [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Absoloutley. One of my main problems with this hand is that if i had flopped the nuts (or anything vaguely close to it) I would have slowplayed. Thus any half-decent hand-reader should be calling fairly light?

I'm calling this with JJ, but nothing less.

Edit: TT also. Because I might put you on TT, so if I have it, I'd assume you didn't.

This doesn't make much sense. If you think pushing the flop with the nuts looks bluffy, why do you slowplay when you have it?

Pushing the flop only looks bluffy for the same underlying reason that we slowplay when we have it... because there aren't a lot of hands here that call a bet, there's no need to bet big to protect because nobody can suck out on AK at this point, etc.

Also, when we actually have it, the opponent will have it even more rarely.
