How's my line here, when he check/called the flop I put him on an ace. He seemed fairly conservative but I don't have any particular read on him. When he c/r'ed me all in on the turn I thought he might've hit his ten or maybe had adxd besides I felt I was pretty much commited to the hand by that point and didn't want to fold and play with t1065.

Bet a bit more on the flop, you wouldn't bet 450 if you had 66 would you? Probably not.

Shove the turn as played, you say you dont want to fold and play with 1065 so just put it in before he puts it in for you.

I'm not sure what the question is here since you've stated that you don't want to play with t1065. Your logic sounds fine to me but you really don't know where you stand and as you've stated you aren't folding so what's the question?

[Nez477]

I play it the exact same, except for raising preflop. I'd fold pre, unless it's your first time stealing on the button and hadn't been active. Then, it's borderline. But raising any two just because you are on the button, without antes, is not good in general.

But post flop your line is great.

Just wanted to see if people play it differently, I felt quite sure I was ahead of him all the way so I didn't push the turn to give him the chance to come over the top with his ace.

And I probably wouldn't have posted this if it hadn't been for the fact that villain had aa [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Didn't really cross my mind that he'd have that and it would've been highly unlikely that he had a set of 5's or Q's.

[Nez477]

Ya, I had no clue that you were beat at all.

This was probably my first real steal the whole tournament, and the table had been pretty tight for a while now with most pots being won preflop. Ofc I won't steal every time it's folded to me on the button here but with the table conditions I'm pretty sure it was +ev.

[TehVader]

Well sometimes you just get "unlucky" [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I don't really see any way I'm not going broke on this hand (aslong as I do bet preflop)
