Is this standard? Villain was new to the table, no reads on him.

[TheWorstPlayer]

That's how I play it.

[Snag]

Looks reasonable.

If Villain is tricky, I might just try and draw at price. What was your plan if he reraised or called, you bricked, and he led the pot again?

[ZimbuTheMonkey]

If he re-raised, I planned to go all-in. Is that also reasonable? I would have been stumped if he pushed after my raise though.

If he had called and I had bricked, I dunno. It would depend on villain's bet.

Yeah, I'd play it the same way on any low board with the spade draw. I think having the board paired here is quite good cause it's much harder for him to hit the board hard with a PP.

[Snag]

That board is also nice, because your in the BB, and could have a garbage hand you were trying to "protect" and that flop could have hit you fairly squarely in the face w/ a shovel.

[ZimbuTheMonkey]

Yes, my thoughts exactly. I figured if villain had an overpair I could scare him with a raise/re-raise, if he had happened to call, my ace and flush outs were certainly good.
