BB has 460 left, if I push he could easily fold this hand since he is not pot committed, is this the best move?

Uhhh, do you expect a definitive answer here?

He's your opponent. What do you think the right play is?

I am not expecting a definitive answer, just wanted some opinions.

In this situation I think the right play is to check. I thought I showed signs of weakness throughout this hand that would convince him to push in an attempt to steal this pot.

what hands could he have called the flop bet for a big chunk of his stack with and then decide that he doesn't want to play that same hand for the rest of his stack, trying to triple up?

when he called the flop bet, he might have had any pair, Ax, QJ, JT, I put him on a wide range.

You want to portray a bluff so go ahead and push... So many villans will follow you in with a low pair becuase they WANT to put you on AK not a high pocket pair.

Easy push...

so you put him on a super wide range of hands on the flop, for some reason or the other, and also knew him well enough to know that he would bluff often on the turn? this is all very unlikely. it's not that likely that your opposition (at whatever level this is, you didn't say anything) is so sophisticated, and that you possibly have shown them that you play so poorly previously, that they're going to be taking a card off for 1/4 of their stack on the flop with the intention of taking the pot away from you with garbage if you check on the turn. the guy most likely has SOMETHING here, and he's getting like 3/1 on the turn. just tapping him should be more than adequate. if you really wanted to, you could bet like 2/3 of his stack.

If he has no ace and he paired nothing would he call on a turn push?

[citanul]

well, first off, your large range of hands is running out of hands if you're saying he has no pairs and no ace. second off, you're sort of creating for us this totally insane opponent, so how about since you're creating him as you go, whatever line it was you liked is clearly right? for example, even retarded opponents, especially retarded opponents, if they call the flop bet with QJ, call a turn push with QJ.

i'm just having trouble finding a hand that an opponent of any type will "correctly" (that is correct, but in his mind) call the flop and then fold the turn, given his stack size.

if what this is all about is "hey i induced a bluff, look at me" i'm going to wind up really pissed.

I play this a lot like you did. On the turn I'll bet 1/3-1/2 his my opponents stack in this situation. If he has a hand that he'd call an all-in with, he'll probably just push over you anyway. He'll also on some occasions try to bluff you out of the pot with a few more hands. If he doesn't have a hand that he likes that much he's not calling your push any way. If he just calls then you can still push you chips in on the river.

[Wes ManTooth]

I actually played this hand as follows,

I waited, checked, BB pushed I called, he had Q9d and was drawing dead.

Like I mentioned earlier I showed signs of weakness throughout this hand and with this I thought it may convince villain to push in an attempt to steal this pot.

I know many of you most likely will not like this play.
Thanks for all your remarks and opinions, more comments are welcomed

So BB sucks at poker. To maximize EV, I definitely bet a bit more on the flop, and I push the turn.
