My first instinct is to push and discourage the draws as well as getting a Top pair or lower two pair to call thinking you have a draw.

Push, If Not, then a Pot size bet. No need to get fancy this early and let either of the flush or Straight draws come along. IF somebodies got a set of 3's (most likely not JJor QQ), then so be it, you have outs.

Thanks. After reviewing recent MLG advice, I think I did the right thing.
RESULT: Hero pushes. 1 Fold. 1 Call. Villain has two [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] to a str8 flush. He announces he has to call because he has a str8 flush draw. Personally, I think he's an idiot, but that's just me. Turn is a blank. River is a [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] and I am severely crippled. Two hands later I push with 55, get called by a JQ ironically and he wins the coin flip. Bye bye. Busted out in 23 minutes flat. Another theory I had been told would have been to call, wait for a blank turn, then push so villains would have worse odds to make the call. Onaflag............. |

Since you are willing to push here, why not give yourself every chance to push the draw out? I call the flop and then push the brick on the turn. I think that this move is more effective than pushing the flop against any player willing to chase the draw. Unfortunately, since you were up against the strt-flsh draw you were probably toast anyway.

you are letting him draw to a cheap card. I push allin on the flop. What are you going to do if a spade comes? check/fold? What about a face card other than a J or Q? check/fold?

Im sorry to ask perhaps I misread but was he openended(k10s) or was it an inside straight flush draw like(89s)??
If its openended I think its a hard lay for him...especially given the structure. |

He had A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] and needed the K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] for the royal so it was an inside draw for the monster and a regular everyday flush draw. Add three non-[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Kings to his 9 flush outs for 12 outs.
His call is getting slighty the worse of it at roughly 1.2 to 1. I suppose it wasn't a horribly horrible call, but not one worth risking your tournament life over as I had him covered. I think in the same situation, I'd do the same thing again. I appreciate the advice on this. It's these little things that I need to know whether I'm doing correctly or not. Onaflag............. |
