CO raises- "i have two cards"

hero reraises- "i have two cards as well and i happen to really like mine"

CO re-reraises- "i have two cards and though you may like your cards a lot i happen to know that my cards are better than yours"

hero pushes

=dumb.

Need very good read on CO to do something this special.

In all, I don't like the play that much, but it's much, much better than calling a push with AK (suited or not).

However, against sane or standard opposition, I would be more inclined to fold to a 3-bet. I don't know if hitting the K or even the A makes me good.

Are you trying to fold out KK?

With no reads, this is lighting money on fire.

Every time I see these min-three bets they seem to be designed to induce a push from you - which it did.

Me no likey

Being break even at best or a big dog for my stack does not seem to be +EV

in many games, this is pretty standard... in a full 5/10 online game, that third raise = AA w/ most... basically, you need a read to pull this.

I think we should call this hand "going back to bed" or "walking back to the refrigerator" instead of "walking back to houston"

Why? It's not funny, and has no historical significance.
