1/2 AKs button

[Gandor]

I'm normally a limit player, but 1/2 was the only game going at the local club at the time and looked weaker than normal. The big blind in this hand was very LAG, had already burned $500 lagging it up, and was on his way through his 2nd. I have played limit with the other player in the hand on several times and find him to be pretty solid. I have about $300 and both have me covered.

Solid player raises to 15 in EMP. There are 2 cold callers, and I have AKh on the button. I make it 55 to go. The BB calls (he had defended just about every time) and the original raiser calls after asking how much I had behind ($245). Both cold callers fold. Flop is Jh Th X. Both check to me.

With about $185 in the pot, I assume my play here is to push. I would also like comments on preflop.

Thanks,

I'd push it there. You probably take it down, which is just fine.

yes, push. the solid player could have QQ which he'll fold or made a very loose call preflop and hes checked a set of jacks on the flop. but whatever, your hand is something to put it in with and have fun
