I think I played this well, but since this line is a little new for me (haven’t typically pushed turn in these situations) I wanted to get some feedback.
2/4 5 handed.
Villain (BB) is a decent tight-aggressive player. He’ll get out of the way with nothing, but tends to play hard when he’s got it. Effective stacks are about 330.
2 limpers to me and I call with JTs on the button. SB completes, BB checks.
Pot: $20
Flop: 9s 6s 2s
Villain bets 9, MP calls, I raise to 55, villain calls.
Pot: $150 ish
Turn: 3h
Villain bets 35, I push for about 250 total.
My question is whether the all-in is Ok here. Should I have bet less (still giving him incorrect odds)? I would like to extract more, but I think my hand is vulnerable.
Here are my concerns about seeing the river:
1) a spade falls and he’s got the As (something like As 9c is what I put him on)
2) the board pairs and he boats up
3) one of the above things happens and he has nothing but bluffs me out of a pot anyway
I think I’m ahead here most of the time. I didn’t expect to get a call with this bet, but I didn’t want to see the river either. As always, any and all comments appreciated.
