pacific poker, $10NL, .05/10 blinds
It is 1AM eastern time, table is pretty loose

Hero has about $11
Villain has about $15

Hero is in LP with 9/images/graemlins/heart.gif9/images/graemlins/club.gif
3 limpers
Hero raises to $.60
2 callers

Flop ($2 ish) comes:
9/images/graemlins/spade.gifT/images/graemlins/spade.gif2/images/graemlins/spade.gif

MP1 checks
MP2 checks
Hero ???

At this table, I felt that anyone with a single high spade would call just about any bet, given the late hour and low limits.

What is standard here? Push or just a big bet?

Hero pushed
Villain called with J/images/graemlins/spade.gif6/images/graemlins/club.gif

Of course, he catches his spade on the river.

I push here too.

already fixed the post /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Basically, he had the flush draw and a 3-straight.

Main question is... push the flop or just bet big and see what happens on the turn?

If they are really calling with whatever lone spade, I don't see how pushing could be bad.

i've run into this situation a LOT at $10NL at later hours. Of course, in the past, they usually don't hit.

What do you do with bigger stacks and normal hours? ($25NL, average stacks)

Easy push if you know they'll call with a lone spade

vegas- are you pushing in most of these situations, or only at the given limit?

Your push here is good because you "know" the donks are calling with whatever lone spade. Standard play for without a read like that is just potting it here.
