You guys find any room for more value here? Am I risking a fold by pushing there, what about an overcall? What if the board read 4c, 8s, 5h instead?

I think after someone shows that much strength on a checkraise, they're usually calling it all off, so I usually push it, but once in a while I get a fold. I assume that's a bluff and I wouldn't have won any more from them anyway, right?

I don't think you can get much more value from a hand like that. And I would guess the Check-raiser is calling most of the time for this to work. Excellent push.

Yeah, I like it. The turn easily could kill your action from whatever the guy is check/raising big with and $18 more could be too rich for the guy in the middle.

Thumbs up
