LC...flop a set on monotone.

Reads: BB has been taggy around 22/16, but overvaluing top pair/overpair in pots against UTG, because UTG plays 90% of his hands and is a mega-call-station post flop. If UTG hits the turn or river he goes all in, and BB has called a couple of these which built most of UTG's big stack. So...a good chance BB is tilting. I have an abc tag image, around 20/11 stats.

I think I played too scared on this one, with too small of a flop raise and turn bet. I'm especially wondering what you do on the river...

i check behind, there isn't a lot more value you can safely extract.

Push.

lol some divergent opinions here. I think you've got the best hand 95% of the time. Bet something that 2 pair will be able to call.

PUSH

Given the size of the pot and our effective stack sizes if we are betting it should be a push.

I cant imagine a push is -EV here, a hand like TJ is very possible.

Thanks guys. I was too tired in this hand and kinda scared from being new to 100nl, and basically wussed out checking behind I was thinking he played top pair fast, so might play a flush or rivered str8 slow. That really doesn't make sense. Playing tired/scared sucks.

Why should a bet be a push? I don't know for sure what you mean about stack sizes and pot size (that if I bet less and raised I should call, so therefore just push?).

The thing is it might cause some worse hands in his range (pair/draw or low two pair) to fold, because of how tight I've played so far. But he's probably too focused at his tilt at UTG. Anyway, don't get me wrong, I like the idea of pushing, because the majority of villain's range of worse hands will probably call it.

$82 pot, he's got about ~$64 behind, any meaningful bet is going to be north of $40 so you might as well just push.
