Big draw on the flop 3 handed. Now what?

[RcrdBoy]

Bison's converter is down, as most probably know, so forgive me if I my hand history doesn't have all the information in the right place.

Read - Villian is loose, will bluff at a pot if checked to and has been aggressive when folded to in LP. Raised my BB a few times when folded to in SB. I played back once and took the pot on the flop with a min raise when I flopped 2 pair.

Villian checks

Should I just raise all in semi-bluff here? Take the free card?

definate push. you cant really be upset either way if he calls of folds.

By my math the other player has around 3,500 in chips-
I would have pushed with this hand preflop-
Barring that i would push all in on this flop.
Baring that i would push all in on any turn.

With the blinds this high compared to your stack, you are in trouble. This draw is so good, you should want to get all your money in and try to double up. The only question is how to get the villian to put his money in also. If he is so aggressive, just check it and let him bet the hand on the turn.

As someone said, this is a pre-flop push.

But, as it stands, this is a definite push on the flop. Your draw is so strong, that I might reraise this flop on the first level, let alone this late in the tourney.

Agree. All in.
