I'm not sure about the specific hand though. Your stack size is awkward, so you're forced to bet 2x the pot in order to make a convincing bluff. (Of course, overbetting probably makes it less likely that you get called, but I don't think that effect is significant enough to cancel out the extra chips risked.) If you had more or less chips, I'd like this play a lot more.

Well, here's the fun part:

Say he has a big ace with a heart and I have exactly 1x the pot or 4x the pot in my stack: he's calling or pushing to any bet I make. The same goes for something like Jx J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. I'm probably better off check/folding.

Here, I'm representing one of two things: A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Kx or AA-QQ, no hearts. Unless he has exactly tens or A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], he cannot call this push (he might with A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Kx, but I've got odds vs. that anyway).

This play works exactly because of the stack size I have.

Awesome.
