It sounds awful.

Oh, I usually call here, and if I raise- wow I am never folding to a push from the pfr. If a guy behind you shoves.... then maybe.

Sounds like an expensive way to get information on a middle pair against 3 opponents on a coordinated board, that called the UTG for set value in the first place and didnt flop a set.

MSUcougar: raises 265 to 475
SJMIN: folds
haxxories: folds
gatorhader: thinks a long time and calls 265
*** TURN *** [5h 2h 4d] [7d] (POT now 1310)
gatorhader: checks
MSUcougar: ??? (1400 behind)

Basically, at this point I put him on 88-QQ... possibly AA-KK or set but that just seems very unlikely now.

What's the play on this turn after he checks?

You don't like him having high hearts here? There is no bet that you aren't forced to call an all in from him, so I'd hope to see the showdown cheap from here.

You got a safe turn card, and you have to bet. Checking and having villian bet into you on a scary river card would suck.

Any reasonable bet will pot commit you. I think a push is in order.

I think it's fairly unlikely he flat called me OOP with a FD here... but ya I suppose that could be included in his range.

Since you got this far, I agree that a push is in order here since a bet will otherwise pot commit you anyway. His last two actions showed weakness on a scary board. I would anticipate that he can't call an all in at this point, at the very least you're putting him to the test...especially since this is the Stuper, where people are quite capable of making laydowns.
