Checkraise or just push?

[Olback]

Eurobet $33 sng

At the time i thought this checkraise was good but looking back on it, it might have been better to just push straight all in and increase the chances that he folds. Limper was LAG and had been limping alot so he could have anything.

Meh. I don't really like that line. I find limpers call alot with mediocre a's and mid pp's in situations like these. As for the flop I auto check-raise this.

To these kind of opponents I believe a PVS to be the most effective. At least that's what I've found in the past.

[schwza]

if he really is both loose and aggressive and has not made any crazy calls of a-i's, i think pushing is ok. but i like your line better, and i like it much better than open-pushing the flop for 3x the pot. may as well just expose your flush draw while you're at it.

[bigt439]

To be completely honest I hadn't seen that extra note on the limper, and obviously it strengthens your argument. It is much closer now, but I still feel as though the same type of person who is limping lots of hands, is the same person who will call your 7 bb allin with k2 or the like (I just had this almost identical situation happen this morning at a 109). While I think an argument can be made for a push, I think you're risking too much as these type of loose players for some reason love calling raises they perceive as small even though this is over half of his stack.

this hand was played perfectly

The flop overbet is usually telling. General it means that is the most amount of chips he's willing to put into this pot. This is a good flop/hand to check-raise with. Assuming your read on villain is that he missed the flop.

FWIW, I also like the push preflop line.
