I think your flush draw is good here... Villian doesnt want to go any further... And reads on his style?

Call and go from there...

[Jeff76]

villian is super tight and a poker know-it-all.

[oober]

Then I would definitely call... He doesn't want any more action... 10 10 , possibly set, maybe TPTK with flush draw, but I dont think he's calling with A9o so unlikely ... Do you think you'd get payed off if you hit?

[Jeff76]

If I call then villain has a PSB left. I feel like that commits me to go all the way, however it will be hard for villain to stack off if a spade hits and he doesn't have one.

Should be an easy push.

[D.L.M.]

this could easily be him trying to play you off your obvious steal and c bet, i bet he may have 1 spade in his hand here alot. if youd be ok with stackin off here i think a stop and go would be more profitable. id call and lead the turn or just raise ai. maybe 50 50 for both.

[Cry Me A River]

I think he's getting cute with overpairs a lot here (calling with JJ instead of rerasing PF, then raising any low flop because you missed your overs). I push because if he's a nit it scares the bejesus out of him. If you stack him on a hand where he (thinks) he's way ahead you may be in for some tilt-o-whirl.

[/ QUOTE ]I thought so too. He had a set, I caught a spade AND a king (heh, nothing like overkill) and villain went ballistic on me. I figured I'd post for a quick line/logic check just to make sure my donkament self wasn't coming out here (this is a super easy push in a MTT because his range is HUGE). I think his range is tighter here than it would be in a donkament, but that I'm still ahead enough combined with my draw to make pushing profitable.

I honestly didn't even consider calling for a second and I'm not ever folding this here. I hate calling because if a spade comes then it probably kills my action, and I feel like I'm pot comitted with either the best hand or only slightly behind. Also, if I AM drawing I want to see both cards.
