Default Re: Party 10/20 Extracting the max, Take 2.

There wasn't enough $ in the middle to justify a push considering out remaning stack sizes since it was far too easy for him to have 2 pair, a set or the straight here, any of which have me in bad shape on a push. He could be reraising me with air but pushing on that co-ordinated of a board against the hand range of a button caller is inordinately risky with just a flush draw and overs and the pot simply wasn't that big yet. I figured there was about a 30% chance that he was on some sort of flush draw and that if the heart came on the turn, I'd easily stack him. The river Jh obviously made that possible, if slighly more difficult, I just blew it with my failure to push which was clearly a mistake. Unlike a lot of players however, I rarely put someone on a specific holding, I bet based on a range of hands and I was hoping the slightly less than all in bet might get a crying call from a set or two pair that otherwise might not call here.
