How do you play this flop? (Party $100NL 6max)

[TrailofTears]

Okay, so this hand just came up and I was curious as to how you guys would play this flop. For a bit of information on these guys, Button has raised from the button almost every time and shown down all sorts of mediocre (K6s, Q8, etc.) hands. SB is a decent player but a bit passive. Okay, on to the action.

SB checks, Hero ?

i bet with the intention of reraising all in

Get money in the pot. You have a monster.

[warlockjd]

Yeah, pot it and try to get in on the flop. I am ok with semibluff all in on turn in unimproved

[TrailofTears]

Hero checks, Button Bets $20, SB calls $20, Hero pushes All-in for $228.7.

Too risky if it gets checked through? I had seen the PF raiser follow up every time with a continuation bet so I felt confident when he did. The SB call was just a bonus. Both folded to my push.

[TheWorstPlayer]

Well, that was one way to do it. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] (I don't think I would have raise quite that much...)

[TrailofTears]

Yeah, I didn't want to have to make a decision on a missed turn and I knew I was a favorite to most hands. With the dead money already in there, I knew it was a +EV push, especially since there was plenty of fold equity.

+EV? Yes. Maximal EV? I doubt it. But I might be convinced if you ran some numbers . . .
