No real reads yet, table pretty tight so far....Im thinkin any A10 or AK has me covered, with a flush draw out there as well and two callers ahead of me....good fold?

Oh and later I was very short stacked, caught terrible cards all game long...

In once instance I had J9s 4-handed with about 5xBB with one fold to me on the button...instapush?

i'm going down with the ship here. the 4x PF isn't bad considering you're likely to get HU w/ bigstack's 'who knows what' limp.

button's call PF isn't terribly alarming...nor should be his push over your flop bet. he's just "calling" off 1/5 his stack. AA, TT, or AK would be pushing PF IMO, with a pot equal to 1/4 his stack. i CANNOT put him on either of these hands. the same can be said for MP.

to me, shortie's push over on the flop is likely no more than a flush draw, or Ax....(possibly AT/8...good for him). MP's call is troubling. BUT...why didn't he put you to the test here? plausible for him to check/raise two pair or something, given you would be hitting the flop. but with nearly 3k now in the pot...does he string you along with a flush draw on the board? iiiiiiiiii don't think so.

with shortie's push & MP's call, you only have to put t355 more into a t2800+ pot. not only am i calling, but i'm betting the farm here and pushing over top of big stack.

I really dont think you cna fold for 350 more with so much in that pot and TPGK and the cards the flipped over showed that you were infact ahead on top of things not to be results orrientated. But there are enough times like these to make up for the times youll see AK IMO. I just would not bet out 500 if I plan on folding to a reraise.

Agreed. I probably push immediately here, and sometimes c/r all-in. a 500 bet and fold to a 385 more reraise seems very poor imo.

T675 is worth taking down. Push on the flop. This is the hardest fold ever, though. Meh.

If you are going to bet 500 just push all in our make a smaller bet so you can fold to a reraise. Call the reraise here because of the great odds you will win enough here to justify it in the long run.
