So i wanted to see a cheap turn, but raised all in anyway

[ben_]

I felt that if i called the initial flop raise, and hit my draw, action would die.
I felt villain had a set or bottom two, so was naughty and gambled knowing he would call.

Comments welcome.

I don't see a problem with this when there's a reasonable chance that you have the best hand and have plenty of redraws if you're behind.

Except it doesn't seem to reasonable that Hero has the best hand. OP even states he has villian read for 2 pair or a set. I like this when there is a reasonable chance villian will fold the better hand. According to Hero's read there is little chance of this so I don't like it. JMO

Pushing here was the right move. You don't to get called by a QJ and have them hit a st8, don't let your oppents see a cheap turn. And you raise puts all the pressure on your oppents. I feel it was the right move to make. Good play.

Why not? There was no PFR, so AK, AQ, AA, KK all seem unlikely. 99, K9 or A9 are the only possible hands that I see him behind, and like I said, he has plenty of redraws against all of those (Against K9, AJs is technically "better" because it has the most equity). I just don't see what "better" hands are out there that villain would have to fold.
