4/180 11 left, KJ in BB

[usha]

I've been stealing a LOT lately, but trying no to touch villain the chipleader. I'm second in chips.

How's my line?

Why overbet shove the flop? Do you want him to fold worse hands? After hitting a miracle flop like this I'm looking to extract chips. I'd bet like 12k-15k on the flop and shove any turn.

BTW, i just fold this preflop especially with your active image. You're going to get looked up a lot more often and have to play oop against the only player that can bust you.

i don't think preflop is bad. i would just check the flop, it makes considerably more money than betting.

I wouldn't have folded PF, I would have just called. I hate the R/R, If the Button pushes on you, are you going to call off your stack with KJo??? As played, you're dominating the flop, i'm not fond of the overbet, you just got lucky it got called. I know this move does work time to time in the 4/180, in the long run, this kind of play just lowers your EV.

This is a good flop to slowplay for a c/r or c/c, though i dont mind value betting it either to give more weight to your bluffs, plus you do have a flush/str8 draws on the board, so playing it fast is fine.

Then why are you re-raising OOP preflop? I would just call and try to keep the pot small.

This is horrible advice.

putting pressure on your opponents is the best way to get them to fear you. They know they will have to play for all their chips. The all in move is the most power move in NL. I suggest it here for obvious reasons.

It ranks right up there with being honest to your girl about her weight. Why not just tell the man to wander into traffic for crying out loud.
