Pretty risky move but I thought it was ok. Comments?

Do you do this with AQ/AA/KK?

A good point... I think you are going to get called by any pair with this push, a smaller bet looks much scarier imo.

personally I don't like the rereaise preflop. i agree that a smaller bet on the flop would be better or maybe a checkraise all in. or maybe a check fold. or maybe a lot of things other than the push.

As sick as this sounds I might check here. first of all I don't like the re-raise. I hate playing under pressure with a drawing hand like this. But whatever, here's my plan. I check here and see what Three does, if he tries to pick it up 100/125/150...even 200 I can see what barry does. If he calls I can fold, if he raises I can fold, if he folds I can move in....yes I said check raise move in. Only if I think he is picking it up.

use the hand converter from now on.

as for the hand:

i'm not fond of your reraise preflop, it kinda sucks i think, personally.

on the flop, i don't believe that you're going to get called by any pair. i don't believe anything close to that. also, you've got a significant overlay against the set "any pair," since you have a huge draw. if you throw out the AA-QQ pairs, you're ahead, not just ahead of your pot odds. you're sometimes going to get called by hands you're ahead of, you're sometimes going to fold out hands that you're behind, and you're getting a good price on your money when you are called against basically anything but a queen. granted, you're probably never getting a queen to fold against you here, but.

the but is that there's a lot of chips in there! i don't think that a small bet really works as well here, honestly. the pot is 450! it's not like you can possibly have the plan of betting 250 and then folding to a raise... on the other hand, i might be ok with a plan of betting out smaller with the HOPES that a pair of some sort is amongst the range of hands tha goes all in, which i think is more likely than being called by any pair.

like i said, not in love with this hand from top to bottom, but i don't think that the push on the flop is very wrong, i just don't know if it's >EV than say, checkraising, or betting out with the intention of trying to get all in.

meh.
