How to play American Airlines
 

The table is loose and passive with occasional bursts of anger. Villain seems like the best player of the bunch, but nothing spectacular. Hero is probably perceived as LAG by the table, although I doubt they adjust their play. Forgive any inaccuracy as this is from memory and there is no hand history available.

This is 4-handed NL50. Hero is in the SB with ~60$, Villain in CO covers. What's the best line here? Push the turn? Push the river?

Preflop: Hero is SB with A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
UTG calls, CO calls, Hero raises to 2.5$, everyone calls.

Flop: ($10) K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. (4 players)
Hero bets 9$, BB folds, UTG calls, CO calls.

Turn: ($37) 5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].(3 players)
Hero bets 22$, UTG folds, CO calls.

River: ($81) K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. (2 players)
Hero checks, CO goes All-In. Hero feels sick.

Hero has ~25$ left.

Draws usually give up on the turn unless its JcTc.
Most of the time CO has a K here.
Save your last 25.
Edit: You could bet a tiny bit more on the turn, but there is no reason to push I think.

It sucks to have to fold but what can he push with that you can beat? Are you going to win this pot 1 in 3 times?

Re: How to play American Airlines
 

Not such a good river. be disciplined and fold, you are not good here one in 3 times. Top card pairing on board=death for aces. Better luck next time.

I just noticed that as this is 4-handed, CO is in fact button.

Calling here is probably -ev and I was pretty convinced I was beat. Then again, Villain is a little tilty as I have been pushing him and everyone else out of a lot of pots lately being very aggressive. I thought he was capable of pushing here with a busted draw or even with a queen as I had shown weakness by checking. And I do get over 4-1 odds for the call. Faulty logic? I think I might have a leak in my game with unimproved big pairs.

About the turn. If I bet only 1/2 pot as I did and UTG calls, Button gets the odds to chase if he's on a draw. If I bet more, I have so little left that I probably have to get everything in on the river anyways. So could it be better to push here and increase my chances of taking the pot down on the turn as it is fairly large already?

Push the turn. Tough river, I probably look him up though.

What hands do you put villain on?

Re: How to play American Airlines
 

This is what happened:

Hero makes a crying call all-in, Villain shows K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] for a boat and takes down the pot. Hero throws laptop out of the window.
