200BB Stacks, Huge Draw

[Big_Jim]

Decision is not call or fold, it's call or raise. Certainly we're putting more money in the pot.

Two options:

1) Reraise allin. He'll call in a heartbeat with a big pair, but that's OK:

[/ QUOTE ]WTF??? almost never getting called by AA/KK... and sure as hell not in a heartbeat. betting is easily the best play... after you check i think you should raise to $275... if called, move in on any turn.

Another good line IMO would be to lead flop, call raise and push turn.

That would be pretty bad.

As OP played it, CR'ing allin seems fine. Maybe just call if you think he'll pay you off anyway if you hit, and you want to minimise your variance.

I prefer 3-betting the flop allin by far, though.

I'm in the 3-bet club too.

And from here it looks like a call is best. The 5 outs to 2pair are totally disguised, and the 4 gutshot outs will probably get his stack too. The spades should get at least 250. Thats plenty.

Great thread.

I like a check call better than a checkraise/push turn. A flop bet is better, I agree with this.

On the turn if he doesn't hit, he's not getting his money in good, right?

This seems like the best line in this spot, getting the most money in before pushing and still mantaining fold equity.

Anyone else?

Yep, it's a good plan. Wasn't presented as an option in original post.
