2/4 Battle of blinds turned straight paired board.
Empire 400NL
Villain (28/10/3) has $300, I cover. He is quite an aggressive player, particularly in situations like these. I get K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] in the SB. Folded to me and I raise to $12. He calls. Flop is J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] I check, planning to check-call or check-raise and represent a 9 later in the hand. He checks too. Turn is T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] I bet $20. He raises to $40. I push. Comments on the hand? |

[/ QUOTE ] What are your reasons for pushing rather than just making a decent sized raise and value betting the river? |

Re: 2/4 Battle of blinds turned straight paired board.
He only has a 3/4 sized stack so I want to make him make a decision now if he has a 9 or a flush draw.
Also, a push looks weaker so he may be actually more likely to call it with a 9. At this point, a pot sized raise will either commit us or close to commit us anyways, I figured. This may or may not be good reasoning. ryan |

He's very aggro. Why try to get him to make a huge call? I'd make a smallish re-raise and hope he pushes.

Is this a good idea considering that there are a LOT of cards that can come down and make my life miserable?

beware of the flop check behind, then the turn raise. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if you got shown jacks or 9's full here.

Yes it is. As you said, you're committed once you re-raise anyways. So if he calls, just push it in on the river no matter what. I guess unless it's a nine. Then you can check/fold maybe. Or push then, too, whatever.

Are you getting away from this hand in this situation if you read him for a flopped full house?

Re: 2/4 Battle of blinds turned straight paired board.
I think if you read him as a flopped full house, you should a fold a straight. And a flush. But not a straight flush.
