I don't like turn push. I don't think you have very much fold equity at all. I'd make a bigger raise on the flop, possibly push.

Edit: or maybe a smaller flop 3-bet like to 120, so that you have about a psb left on the turn should he just call.

that is awesome

I was trying to protect my hand by giving him bad odds to call with a pair draw.

flop play is ok but i like to check the turn.

This is a monster drawing hand I long for on the flop. I generally always push these on the flop to any aggression. My reasoning: 2 cards to come I am still a favorite to win. Pushing on the turn is scary to me. I am not saying I am right, just how I respond to these hands.

Anyone know any different? i.e. the best overall long term play with a hand that draws to 14+ outs on the flop?

you arent a favorite against a 6, which is why you dont want to reraise that flop.

the flop play is bad without a read, but im assuming you had one

I am not so sure about that.. A 67 would give you cause for much concern, but a lone 6? Who would normally call a preflop raise with a 6 only? I would still push the flop. If he happened to have 67, well, then I just paid him off.

But I do agree, certain reads may make me change my mind. But I still would have the Flop push as standard play unless some read really changed my mind.

Just a little math intervention

My hand: 8c 9c
Opp: As 6s
board: 6c 6d 7c

My chance to win: 43.2%
Opp chance to win: 56.8%

So you're not ahead of a 6, so what hands that you beat call the push?
