Default I might be a good player. Then again, I might be a donk.

As I may have said before, I hate min-raises. And when a player that I feel is weak enough for me to outplay post-flop does it, I'm calling w/ a lot of playable hands...

This is the hand:

Villain: t2055
SB: t3335
Me: t2610

Blinds at 200/400.

Villain min-raises and I call w/ T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. I give him very, very little credit for having Ax. My range for him is more like suited connectors up to KQ. I give him a little bit of credit for AA or KK.

I'm going for a stop 'n go if the flop is not paired. But then...

Flop (t1800): Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

I don't like open-pushing this kind of flop without actually having the third A. I'm sticking w/ my initial read, so if he min-bets the flop, I'm pushing (that's the only bet that I think still leaves him w/ enough chips to fold), and I'm pushing any turn.

What do you guys think?

Seems like FPS to me.. if you give him little credit for Ax why don't you just re-push preflop.

Are you a former limit player? This is an attitude I'm learning from a limit player. This attitude is quite a bit more dangerous in NL games. That being said, danger is the real attraction to NL ain't it?

I think you've got a bad case of FPS here. Like you said, I would not push without an ace because it looks like a total bluff, and you'll get called by hands with a Q and maybe even lower pairs. Check-raising all in against a flop minbet seems ok, but I don't think I would get into this spot in the first place.

fancy play syndrome.

edit: beets

fwiw, I do this a lot if I have good read on the opponent. if villain minbets flop, I think you'll take him off any non-ace hand a large % of the time.
