Default 2 4 offsuit, going for the stack.

I've been ultra aggressive last few orbits (raised half the pots and shown lots of bluffs) and have ¬1200 behind villian has me covered and is a good player. I'm looking for an opportunity to get his stack. This is from memory I cant remember the suits exactly apart from the hearts.

Hero is SB with 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

2 folds, Villian calls, 4 folds, Hero raises to 30, BB folds, Villian calls.

Flop: 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Hero checks, Villian (thinks for a bit) bets 50, Hero calls.

Turn: A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Hero bets 130, Villian raises to 320, Hero?


My thoughts: I had a decision on the flop because if I led out and he was slowplaying he'll raise enough Id have to fold (e.g. if I called, and he had KK, 4 of my outs would kill the action, leaving me just 4 big outs), so I elected to check-call. Downside with check-calling is if the A or 6 does hit I'll have to pull a stop and go. I dont think he can put me on 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] because he'd expect me to bet that on the flop, so he probably wont see a heart as a scare card on the river, but of course he could the nut draw himself.

Push? Call-Push? Call-check-raise? Why?

I don't play this high but his raise gives you 3:1 from the pot to call. It's about 1.5x your bet. This looks like he's not afraid of a draw which is fine. Either he has a medium hand and just wants to see where he is at or he wants you to bluff at it. If the latter then he has a big hand like trips. Also possible is AX hearts. I think you should bet enough to make any flush draw incorrect to call including implied odds so 3bet to 900. He will need to call 580 for a shot at ~1600 if my math is correct. It's important however to make this look like a bluff if at all possible so if your shown bluffs were all-in you may as well all-in here as well. I think you have him-he has trips or maybe 2 pair and calls the push here. If you decide he is a cautious player and just trying to find out where he's at with a medium hand and no draw you could 3bet in size here. Given your image he wont fold a medium hand here and may even commit all-in unable to bear the preasure, lol.
