Re: Pocket Rockets - Push on the turn?
I play that the exact same way. With Party's structure, you're pot committed after a preflop raise and pot bet. If he had a nine or QQ, oh well.

Re: Pocket Rockets - Push on the turn?
this may not be right, but I think I would have gone all in on the flop

Re: Pocket Rockets - Push on the turn?
i realize this is party poker $10 so your opponent may not be rational. but against any rational player i check the turn and hope to get a free showdown. if he has diamonds he's a horrible player. if he bets out the river then you have a tough decision if you don't know anything about this player. i don't play many sngs at party though.

Re: Pocket Rockets - Push on the turn?
I don't like it can't see you being ahead, he has a 9 or he folds on the turn surely, but like the other guy says you are pot committed by then so whatever will be will be. Put me down for A9o anyways.

Re: Pocket Rockets - Push on the turn?
He had Queens for the boat. The more I look at it the more I think I should have checked the turn and gone for the free showdown. The reason I didn't was that I was worried that if I checked the turn he would auto bet the river on a steal and I would lose most of my stack at an early stage of the tournament.

Re: Pocket Rockets - Push on the turn?
Giving a free card to a possible flush draw would be awful. You may be beat but are pretty much committed, and should go all-in on the turn every time.
