When to push a hand hard...
my question here is a general one, and may be hard to answer...
Anyway, I find it hard to know when to push a mediocre-strong hand hard, particularly against agressive/loose opponents. One example is in the following: the SB is extremily bad, with 64.6/28.32 Party 1/2 6-max (6 handed) I am BB with 2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 2 calls, SB calls, I check. Flop comes: 4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] SB checks, I bet, two folds, SB raises, I re-raise, SB calls. Turn comes: K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] SB bets, <font color="red"> What do I do here? </font> With my read and his stats, I want to push harder, but my kicker is trash, and even maniacs can get lucky. I guess the general question is do you always push hard against these maniacs? I know my trips is a good hand, but not amazing... |

Raise. If you are beat you will get 3-bet and you can call down. You have to get the value here out of the SB overplaying his 55 or A4.

Bet & raise every time. The way to beat maniacs is by making them pay huge on your monsters, and not going ape**** with your mediocre hands.

This would be a hand to push hard. Painfully easy raise.

If you are even thinking about just calling here you are missing a massive amount of bets with worse hands. |
