Curse Your River Push!

No real reads on the villian. From what I've seen though, he's playing at a couple tables. He's one of those guys that buys in short and builds his stack from there. He's not what I would consider good, but he's basic, not terribly bad.

I folded because I put him on AK. Keep in mind 95% of players on this site don't reraise with AK preflop and he's one of them.

What's with the hero folds floating around FTR today?

it's hard for me to put him on many worse hands too, but i'd still pay it off, at least without good reads...it's less than a psb. maybe he shows AQ or A5, or a missed draw. also i'd bet the flop.

Bet the flop and as played CALL!

^^ what they said.

pot odds.
Your flop check behind is absolutely gross. Why would you check here?

My Momma taught me to never slow play sets unless it's AAA on a A82 rainbow flop.

I'd call since it seems unlikely that villain flat-called into a million ppl OOP w AK, K5 is unlikely since you have 2 5's and K4 is just... lol K4

Instacall. If he has a better boat so be it.

zomg call. Dont give a shit if he has an overboat.

I was taking down every pot with c-bets and I wanted to wait until someone showed me some interest in the board and this was a relatively safe board to do it with. This is not standard obviously.

Don't you guys feel a set of 4s would have gotten it all in on the turn with me? IMO this felt exactly like the way AK would play it from a fairly passive player.

what theuy all said. this is gross, especially when villains push is only a PSB

If you think villain is weak enough to flat-call AK after a bazillion ppl have called a raise then it's not as bad a hand as it seems.

its impossible to put him on AK

This is a perfect reason to bet the flop.
