Now, against this guy's range (which is anybody's guess here), calling very well could be correct, but this is certainly a decision you can give a little thought to, no?

I'm guessing he showed TT.


hand 2: check behind turn, not being results oriented. The flop is drawless outside of an unlikely 65 and this isn't a hand you want to play a massive massive pot with.

There's a smudge over 400 left on the river.

Given his push, you only beat a bluff here, and you split with a possible AQ. This isn't AK, ever. Don't kid yourself.

I'd probably call here. I'm not sure what the best play is though to be honest.
He insta-puhsed 300bbs. You really think he wants me to call? I wasnt sure... I think he didnt, gut feeling.

I wanted to play a big pot with this guy in hand 2 because i thought i would eventually push him into a post flop mistake for the lot, thats why i bet the turn. Thinking on that line, if i check behind on the turn (and id argue the river gives me a semi-hidden hand as not enough players reraise AQs here against this type of opponent) and then opp open pushes the river, is it still a fold/call ?
Adding to that, how much would you expect to be able to call on the river if the turn is checked but you wont call the push.

I guess id better add that this site is fishy at these limits, horribly so at times.
