    overplayed it. Call his raise and look at a card. I don't think your K is good here but you have outs for a flush and 2 pr may be good.

    I usually try to get all my money in on the flop here to get folds, for image, to get people sucked in so they cant escape the flush card, because I have an assload of outs, and because I feel like it.

    But I think peeling one off here is fine because you'll probably get paid off anyways if the flush comes so a push doesn't really accomplish getting anything in that regard. On top of that theres not as much folding equity so take a card and reduce your variance.

    bgilic is all-In.
    chiefgee01 is all-In.
    ** Dealing Turn ** [ 4d ]
    ** Dealing River ** [ 3s ]
    chiefgee01 shows [ Tc, Ks ] two pairs, kings and tens.
    bgilic shows [ Kd, 8d ] a flush, king high.
    bgilic wins $8.72 from side pot #1 with a flush, king high.
    bgilic wins $30.01 from the main pot with a flush, king high.

    Didn't have as many outs as I thought but it worked out in the end. I love to push with top pair and flush or straight draw because most of the time I will get folds and once in a while I will hit one of the draws.

    You had to know he was going to call here, right? I still like the move.

    I don't liek your move here, he was likely to have a two pair like K10 and you never know when on the turn he gets a scare card and you get to see a free river.
