UTG folds, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, CO folds, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises to t90</font>, SB calls t75, <font color="CC3333">BB raises to t180</font>, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises to t1010</font>, SB folds, BB folds.

Final Pot: t1280

I was hoping he had a good hand. The BB bought a decent pot recently with a bluff, so I figure I should've let him think he was in charge of the hand and bet hard on the flop. Anybody think about just calling here? I wasn't, but was wondering if anyone would do this for deception value? Was going to throw in a raise to about 300-350 but just decided it was best to push and let him call with any kind of hand. He was also putting in about 10x BB raises with some hands. The only one shown down was AK.

I think I'd raise to 360. I feel like people feel obligated to call a raise for the same amount as they already put in. I'd push the flop after that no matter what comes.

Although, it's tough to make an unbiased decision when you can see the results of one option.

Yeah, I forgot to delete BB's action...
