Condering the action, what are you doing on a river push here?

[FreakDaddy]

Villian wasn't unreasonable. Somewhat solid. Check/call, check/raise (over bet pot). Yeah, he could have Ax that isn't two paired, but where do you draw the line OR do you just mindlessly call here?

Fold preflop. Bet more on turn. I find that when I bet somewhat small and get raised, my subconcious tells me it's only because I bet so small.. that's not good, IMO. I think I find a fold.

I really think PSB on turn eliminates some confusion.

Game was ok to limp this hand UTG. I agree with the PSB on turn. If he then pushes or comes over the top? There are a lot of Ax hands he could have here, but how big a pot will villian want to get into OOP when I've been showing strength?

Yeah, he's typical really. Around 23/5/3.... reasonable, not great. Don't have WTSD W$ handy.

i like the thought of him completing the SB preflop with A9-A2. i also think he is not going to raise preflop with AK or AQ. i feel, IMO, that you're best to split. but then again, i'm on the far side of pessimistic. but with 23/5 over ...well, i'm assuming around 100 hands or so i wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't hold up. also, y does he only bet 45 instead of pot??? oh its the PP slider isn't it. i looked at it for a minute and was real confused. he took the time to slide that to 45$, i'd let it go.

hehe... yeah, I would figure that if he had a boat, and he can safely put me on a Ax here, that a push should be in order as most people won't lay down boarded trips, specially Aces. Who knows, but he showed: 88. And I thank him for not losing more, cause if he pushes, I want to lay the hand down, but not sure if I do.

Glad it worked out for you.

fold preflop. /images/graemlins/confused.gif

If the game was really tight or something and you want to play AJo out of position then I think you should raise preflop.

You specifically asked about the river push. Tough since I would folded preflop. If I misclicked and made it to the turn I would have bet the pot. But, considering the action, I think you have to call.
