Default Re: Huge stack vs aggressive Chip Leader (Party 500k).

[ QUOTE ]
nothing wrong with taking a flop here. i dont like pushing, as it nullifies position, and he could have AJ beat. has he called large reraises before? if he hasnt, i still think its a call, maybe you turn a flush draw, or jack high flop. id be wary of an A high flop tho, as AQ, AK or definite possibilities. Would this opponent lay down AQ if you reraised him over half his stack?

agreed. AJ suited can win you a nice size pot here, but can also be dumped rather easily.
Tell me you flopped the nut flush and he doubled you up

If you guys are going to play AJs essentially like a drawing hand here, then why draw for almost 12k. Just limp in, invite button and SB to come along, and play it like QJs.

FWIW, I think calling preflop then folding to his inevitable flop bet is only going to boost the psycological(sp?) edge that villian already has.



If I raise this hand pf, it's because I'm ready to go to war with villian.

But if I see a flop, he's going to lead for the pot. . .

ok...

I've seen him do this multiple times already. This will allow him to push me off any flop that I whiff. Realizing that he had a very large range of reraising hands here (quite possibly any 2) I felt like getting all my chips in the middle w/ what was quite possibly the best hand.

[/ QUOTE ]

so you've said that

- he is reraising a very wide range
- he will probably pot the flop regardless of whether he hits
- when he pots the flop, you have to fold if you do not have a pair or a draw.

why? if he's oging to bet the flop with air, play your hand like it's JJ on the flop and go to war. i think that if you call, you have to do it with the intention of pushing the flop with overs, unless is a horrible flop like Kh8h7h. there will be ~23k in the pot and you'll have 48k left, so it's a normal-sized push if he bets.

i would just push pre-flop though.
