    Don't post results

    Interesting, you're out of position, there are draws on the board, but the blind vs blind aspsect gives this a particular flavor. It certainly looks like the other guy flipped the spew bit.

    The problem with a push is that you're putting him to the definative question and there is no room to spew back at you. Also you could pop it again and just stick the rest in on any river.

    Downswinging holla!
    There are too many draws on board to just smooth call or stick in a small raise. After he reraises you minimum (which is a very weak play by the way), I have to believe he has a hand that he wants to play. He could easily have two pair here, but just as likely a flush draw. I push this all day.

    Our opponent's hand range is wide enough here that I don't think you have to be as afraid of strong draws because he's much less likely to flop them and much more likely to be way over-playing his hand.
