i like it. you are a just little less than 40% against AK and AA, and you're even 25% against KK. calling and pushing the river won't work because he'll be able to fold too often.

perfect play.

Why don't you want him to fold? You realize you WANT a fold, right?

do any of the other posters think his preflop call was too loose? or is that standard?
thanks

what i meant was if you call the turn and hit your draw he'll be able to fold the river too often because it'll be pretty obvious you can now beat 1 pair.

calling and pushing the river when you miss makes little sense given the alternatives.

i would usually fold this preflop but if you have a big postflop skill edge against the raiser it can be a good call.

i want him to fold ofcourse thats what i meant, but im not 100% sure he will fold , but think he will fold enough to make this a profitable play
