Default Fighting back?

I'm in EP with Ac,Ks and raise. I get 4 callers, including MP, a cleavagey woman who has just gone on a huge rush and is now pushing us around, I think.

The flop comes:

Ah,6h,3h

I bet, get 3 callers. Turn is:

10s [Ah,6h,3h]

I bet, MP raises, folded to me and it's heads-up. Your play? Results to follow.

"a cleavagey woman who . . . is now pushing us around"

I couldn't get past that image. Good one!

I'd call and call again on the river.

Cleavage seems to be distracting you from what's important. Good for her, bad for you.

Conflicting factors are [1] she's pushing you around (clearly call) [2] looks like a slow-play (clearly fold).

I think the fact that either YOU are drawing slim or dead, or SHE is drawing pretty good may decide this one in favor of folding.

Or better yet, blatantly stare at her cleavage. If she pretends not to notice she's probably bluffing, if she projects (or pretends) either flattery or insult she's probably not bluffing. This is not a joke.

The above tell works because if she's bluffing the entire pot is at stake and that matters more than the pig's staring. If she's got the good hand only one or two bets are at stake and she has mental energy left over to care about other things.

ROFLMAO! You guys kill me. I think I just read that whether or not a woman objects to you staring at her cleavage is a tell. Louie, I love it! Nothing is innocent at a poker table....

A bit more about her cleavage. I mean, you couldn't help but stare. She was wearing a ridiculously low-cut top, leaning far over the table 'to look at the board', with 2 massive--and fake--'tells'.

Now for the hand. This definitely looked like a slowplay, and my hand was already reaching out to muck my cards when I saw her relax her uh shoulders a little too much, like she wanted me to fold instead of call, and I was folding, so that was good for her. So I called. And checked the river when a blank came, and called again.

She had AJ no hearts, and I took it down.

if she is the kind of player who would bluff raise with a pair and a big heart, or raise with two small pair, than maybe you have two crying calls. If not, fold.
