hero raises more on the flop and pushes now

fsista · #4 04-02-2006, 07:24 PM

Push.

Why are you asking?

it's time to go ahead and push it all in... NL 101

Hmmmm... well could I get some thought into Villain's range here please? Ive reraised his minraise on the flop. Then he checks to me on the turn, I bet and he check raised me. From my view point, Ive done everything I can to tell him I have a hand I'm confident with and he's said that he doesnt care. So I'd like some reasoning into everyone saying to push on what he does this with that I'm ahead of here.

BalugaWhale · #7 04-02-2006, 07:36 PM

ahaha how about this. He could have an A. He could have a Q. He DEFINITELY doesn't put you on 5's full. He most likely doesn't put you on anything.

He could have AQ... but he could have any overplayed Ace, any Q, any monster draw (KJ/KT diamonds or hearts)

Basically, if you fold this, you are losing a lot of money.

Baluga, what is the reasoning for him not putting me on anything? I don't know how muc more I couldve let him know that I had a hand.
I dont see either of those draws being monsters here... aside from the outs for a Straight Flush in that scenario, he'd be drawing dead to a boat. Maybe my reasoning here is incorrect but I just didnt see him taking this line with air. Figured AA and AQ take this same line, no? I mean even with the hands you mentioned, does he checkraise me on the turn with an ammount that committs me all in at that point?

PF - not a big fan of the call, not overly against it either

flop - yuck. bet a lot more

turn - push

I agree that I shouldve raised more on the flop (was busy on other tables at the time and didnt use an appropriate raise amount.. normally I'd make it around $8 here).
I guess my issue is with pushing the turn. Since everyone here says to push with it, apparently I messed up. I went into the tank to almost timing out and mucked the hand. At the time I just couldnt see him taking this line with anything but a hand that beat mine.
