Re: Chipleader w/overcard flushdraw and recently wild image
With two cards to come you are a slight favorite. On the flip side in a small rebuy tournament, in general, pushing to induce a fold is a very risky play. Some players will
perceive your push to be a big draw. The overwhelming majority of the remainder's thought process will consist of
them looking at their hand and seeing that's it's top pair and calling without taking into consideration of what you might have.
I think a better play is to raise the initial bet around 3x.
With a hand as weak as your opponents it's unlikely he will reraise. If you miss on the turn you'll more then likely get to see a fifth card. If you don't improve your hand you
will lose only 750 instead of 2000.
