ok look, u got 35 cents in the pot, and ur pushing all in. u only get called by king, which is not likely that someone holds it, at this point in the betting round, with no tells, and a very wide range. u should bet a resonable amount, and have someone raise u if they do have a king, or call u with a possibly weak hand, like two pair or trips, (which has a slight chacne of outdrwaing u). if they raise, shove. if they call, shove on the river. but u cant shove randomly into an opponents who havent given off any action, to represent anything, from them you try to represent a steal, and get a call, or a bluff/value raise, to which uc an go all-in and possibly get called by weaker opponents, or soemone who does happen to have that king, in which case u guys are destined to stack off anyways, and yes u are destined to have the upper hand due to ur 9 outs.

Surely we're ahead or freerolling? What am I missing?

[edit] Freeroll hand
In playing a particular hand of poker, a freeroll is a situation that arises (usually when only two players remain) before the last card has been dealt, in which one player is guaranteed to at least split the pot with his opponent no matter what the final cards are, but where there is some chance he can win the whole pot if certain final cards are dealt. This most commonly occurs in a high-low split game where one player knows that he has a guaranteed low hand made, his opponent cannot make a better low no matter what the last card is, but the player who is low might possibly catch a lucky card that gives him a straight or flush, winning high as well.

Here's an example from Texas hold'em: Angie holds K&#9827; 10&#9827;, and Burt holds K&#9829; 10&#9829;. After round three, the board is A&#9827; Q&#9824; J&#9829; 4&#9827;. Both players have an ace-high straight, the current nut hand, and so they will most likely split the pot. But if the final card happens to be a club, Burt's straight will lose to Angie's flush. There is no other possible final card that will give Burt more than a split; only Angie can improve, so she is freerolling Burt.

If a player knows he has a freeroll, he can raise the pot with impunity, and often a less-skilled opponent with a good hand who does not realize that he is on the wrong end of the freeroll will continue to put in raises with no possible hope of gain.

I like this play at these stakes. I did this in a live tourny once and it worked out perfect. BB 42ss, 2 limpers flop comes A35 2 spades. Guy bets the pot (I knew he cant wont fold A9 here). I shove for ~$5000 into a $150 pot. He calls and says "I have the nuts" I said "congrats you have no chance to win." River spade flush thanks for your money.
