PL Hand #5

[GooperMC]

This is yet another hand from my up and down session last night. At one point I was up 3 buys and ended about even.

Absolute NL $50 blinds, .10, .25. The table has been playing very loose and aggressive. There are 3 fish that I have been waiting to bust, one of the them is in the hand with me.

I don’t have the hand histories so bear with me.

Hero is OTB with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
4 limpers to me, I raise to 1.00, 3 callers.

After nobody liking the min-raise in a prior hand I have stopped using it.

Fishy min bets, 2 calls, 1 fold, I raise to $5, fishy and short stack call.

At this point short stack only has about $7 left, fishy has about $40, and I have both covered

Check to me, I bet $10, both call.

Fishy really didn't like to fold and I am not sure that I have more then 50% of the equity heads up against him so wanted to get the other player all in and set the fishy up for the river. I have position so if I hit sometime I can push him all in, and if I miss hopefully I can check behind on the river.

I thought about betting $3 and letting the short stack go all in then going all in after him but I was worried that everyone would just call or that the fishy would use that as an opportunity to go all in himself and I would rather not call all in here.

Fishy pushes all in for his last 30, hero???

Main pot is 41, Side pot is 9 with another 30 for fishy bet.

I have seen fishy do this a couple of times. He really likes to push all in when what looks like a scare card falls. This is one of the reasons that I wanted to get involved in a pot with him, sometimes he would push all in for $50 in a $10 pot when a “scare” card came. Also his version of a scare card was sometimes suspect (unfortunately not in this case).

I may have been a little greedy during this hand. I was playing this hand to bust the fishy when maybe I should have been playing to push the fishy out to get HU with the short stack with fishies dead money in the pot.
