I pull crap like this with small PPs a lot. It seems to work a lot.

[Karak567]

It's like a stop and go, except I have to act behind. I just bank on them missing and puuush it.

Bad move?

Fold preflop?

the whole risk/return thing comes to mind when looking at this HH. holla

The min raise and the subsequent push on the flop (which looks like it would help no one) appears weak, as if you are trying to buy the pot. I don't think you'll ever get a better hand to fold with that line. If he had a weak pair, I think he would have called you.

[Nottom]

So what if he bets like 90% of players do in this spot? Do you still push?

[sahala]

Aren't you worried that other players will notice this behavior and take advantage of it? Or is this a dumb question.

This is true, but of course there is enough money in the pot where you want to win it immediately, thus a bet is in order.

Of course I hate the call preflop and fold this nearly 100% of the time.
