Default Re: ($27) - a boring A9s for inspection

Against someone who is this much of an idiot, would it be terrible to push pre-flop? Or are we just giving away too much of our advantage to outplay him post-flop by doing this?

Obviously I realize that A9s is not a re-raising hand, but if you have a read like this... I dunno. Just a thought. I mean, the guy re-raised with QJo and mini-raised with J5s, right? Your hand is likely at least a 60-40 favorite over his pre-flop, and the problem with playing it (the way I see it anyway) the way you did is that you hit your ace, but still couldn't bet it strongly.

I think this is one of those times where I just go with a read and come over the top pre-flop.

I should add that I'm biased because I think that frequent mini-raisers belong at the bottom of the ocean. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
