Default Worst play ever

Pacific Poker NL50 - .25 .50 blinds 10 max

HERO(47) - BB w/ 33
VILLIAN(234.82) - MP1

I've only been at the table for maybe a rotation or two. Villian has been extremely aggressive and is pushing around the entire table.

UTG calls,UTG+1 folds,MP1 raise to $4,folded around,Hero calls,UTG folds

flop: 4h2d5c

Hero checks,Villian bets $2,Hero raises to $10.81,Villian raises to $19.62,Hero pushes, Villian calls.

My thinking here is that Villian has either AA,KK,AK,AQ,QQ, or JJ. I'm a huge dog to AA but way ahead of AK,AQ and have 10 outs against KK,QQ, or JJ. What do you think of this line?

Call the flop bet. Once you catch your straight, let him bet into you and then get all-in on the river.

Well, there is some nasty variance with plays like this. You seem to know your chances against the range of hands. I am doubting you are a favorite, but you certainly have shown that you won't be pushed around by the villain.

I like this line better. He is giving you a damn cheap price to hit your straight. Take it and run.

I thought about that but was worried that if the Ace hit on the turn, he might be able to get away from KK-TT. He was very aggressive but not stupidly aggressive. JMO

I'm not sure you're logic is good. By re-raising, you are not going to force out AA, KK, QQ or JJ, but rather are more likely to get all in on the flop (unless you know they will lay this down to what looks like it could be a set).

Re-raising will probably get AK or AQ to fold every time. Even if they only fold about 50% of the time I think youre equity is no good.

You know I didn't even think about it that way. That is a very good point.
