i've been posting lots of hands today. i definitely feel like i'm not playing my normal style and i've gotten more aggressive. i think the reason is i was just in a home tournament over the weekend and everyone was tight so i took the role as table captain and started playing overly aggressive. it worked out well for me and now it's transferring to my online game, where it's not working out so well. i think people are more apt to call online because it's easier to just click the button than to push your chips in. anyways what do you make of this hand?

How often was the MP raiser raising? If he is reasonable I would fold PF. Flop allin is fine.

All in bet flop looks fine. Preflop call looks much more questionable. He has a lot of his stack in here. What are you going to do if you miss? I'd push or fold preflop.

ya i definitely think this is a hand i should have folded preflop. i think what happened is i had just won a fair sized pot a few hands before so it felt like i had a lot of chips to work with. i think this is one of the bigger leaks in my game.

BadGuy has put ~35% of his stack in preflop. Hopefully you have something of a read on him, because unless he's got a monster he's an idiot for pot-commiting himself, but still allowing you to see the flop. If he's a decent player and is holding a monster, then you are in big trouble.

To me, you might as well admit to yourself pre-flop that he's going to be all-in on the flop.

This is about the best possible flop you could ask for (except maybe T T x). Your ace is probably no good, so two-pair, trip T's or a flush draw is the best you could hope for. I'd move all-in on the flop, just don't be surprised when he's calls.
