Bad push?

Gugel · #1 12-03-2005, 11:44 PM

I'm a LAP and raise a lot of hands preflop. Anyway, how's the turn push? Is it better to reraise to $85 (like the flop reraise) on the turn and get him fully pot committed? Or is a push on the turn fine since I've been a LAP?

it looks like he's scared, and trying to get to showdown cheaply, I would milk him here, worst case scenario villain has 2 outs with like JJ, so I would raise to $100, then on river I would milk him again.

Don't post final pot size.

I think the best play would be to bet about a third of UTG's remaining stack. Around $70 should be good. It seems like he would fold anyway but at least it's a better chance of a call or a raise. If he raises it's happy dance time! haha

I don't see what pushing accomplishes.

U can milk so many worst hands or like other drawing hands catch up.

Only hands i see calling you would be getting all in anyways if u make a smaller raise.

If all you had was a vulnerable two pair then a push would be good.

But now, he's drawing pretty much dead, so milk him, just make it $100-120 or so and get the rest in on the river.
