Anyone like a smaller raise or a flat call? Why?

[moving shapes]

if you raise all in with good draws you've got nothing to worry about wrt your image

if he'll call with a worse hand most of the time you've got nothing to worry about

Don't like the shove one bit. Small reraise is ok - $130 or so is fine. I like calling a lot though since villain is oop with the lead on the turn.

[Imrahil]

I'd probably just call the turn.

130 seems ok if he's deeper, but he only has ~210 in his stack after making his checkraise. If I make it 130 thats such a huge percentage of his stack that he is pot committed if he is going to play.

Also he would have no fold equity if he was thinking about reraising vs a bet that size. I was thinking my push might make it seem like I was somewhat weak and trying to push him off something. Does that make sense?

Calling seems like an interesting line.

call and shove any turn if he bets, pot it if he checks.

The only hand you need to be worried about is a flush draw which is unlikely because villain is rather tight and you hold the ace of spades. Even if he has a flush draw and hits on the turn you have a 17 outs redraw.
Therefore I like a flat call a lot. Give him a chance to bet again. He might have the case ace or a pocket pair or air. I don't think he can call your push with any of these holdings. If he instead has a set or two pair you get his stack anyway.

I like the above two responses. You've got position. Since he c/r the flop, he'll either clam up when he realizes he's beat (and you wouldn't have won any more anyway), continue to bet thinking his crap is good, or will pay you off going for his draw. You have redraws so playing a bit more passively is worth the times hehappens to have a flush draw and hits.
