Opponent nearing all-in and I turn TPTK.

[sfer]

Button bought in short and has dwindled further. He has 5.25 BBs left after he bets the turn, and my SOP here is to put him all-in if he's willing to oblige. Standard or did I go totally Bunky here?

I think you have to be open to the possibility of A8s. Is he so fishy that the prospect of not being the person to bust him is worrisome?

[Trix]

I normally slow down when he 3bets the flop.

Why are you so desperate to put him all in? Maybe you're going to tell us he had something stupid like 33 but really I think you went nuts for no reason.
