why not just push the flop? you're esscentially committed anyway. if you're looking to get paid off in full on a TP/MP holder, then why the freebee on turn (on the assumption, he's not betting the flush)? with that flop, i'm pushing hoping someone doesn't suck out on a donk flush/straight call draw.

Push the flop

With 500 in the pot and many possible draws out there, your hand is vulnerable to too many turn cards. I think you have to push the flop with 870 behind. If the third flop card was something like the 2 /images/graemlins/heart.gif, then I would be tempted to play it cute and raise about 300.

Edit: oops, I was a little slow on clicking the Submit button, but I think you get the point.

Push the flop.

Does anyone PVS against more than one player?

This is my one strategy post for the week.

i think there are advantages to two vs. one, but w/ big stack in the way, i don't know if he's laying down with all of the dead chips out there.

Often, if the limpers are button and SB and I'm BB. Could do it if one of them is CO too, if there are otherwise favorable conditions for PVS. I could be overdoing the PVS a bit, but it's hard to believe since it's working so damn good in the 50+5's

Sorry, but what do you mean by PVS?
