If I had T9, I would never have to worry about it. The money would have already been in on the turn. I'm not exactly thrilled with seeing those rivers and having a pot sized bet left.

That's $15,000 into a $3600 pot. Gotta be willing to play more poker than that if you're ever gonna figure out NL. Stick to limit, Sucker.

That's why I don't, and if I do, it ain't shorthanded. I don't want to make these decisions. Of course, I'm not gonna just push in with made hands there, so it's can't be that bad.

I don't think kane calls a turn push.

It would make sense to think this, but on the turn I thought he would call a push with about AJ+, for reasons others have already pointed out.

Not that you will, but can you tell me why the river heart is such a great card to bluff on? It seems from reading some posts in this thread that KKF had Ks-Js. Why wouldn't he make a similiar play with a heart draw?

I think that calling the turn and pushing the river gains you outs vs. t9 or Ax or w/e (if KKF is calling the riv. push w/ A2 imo he should be calling it w/ T9 also). You have ~8 extra flush outs you can bluff, however you may not get paid if you hit a Jack or 6 vs AT for example. Also you let hands like KQ,KJ see the river, and most importantly you let spades see the river (probably only KQ/KJ/75 spds). Your line is very interesting GoG, but i still think 3beting the turn allin might be more profitable.

BTW, I wish I was in that game. Would have waited for my aces, hit top set and then stacked you guys.

Let's not forget that the reason we play poker (or any game) is to make tough decisions.

I think we let the allure of money and ease cloud the the essence of fun poker. When you started playing five card draw, you dreamed of making that thin call with Ace high against a busted flush draw.

I think if we all lived to make the tough decisions correctly and revelled in those spots instead of trembled in them, we'd all have entourages like Michael Gracz.
