Somtimes you just feel like taking it down

[CFANG]

I don't often make such risky plays without a good read but I like using the 1.50 turbos to experiment with. I was going to fold but after some thought I decided I felt like trying a steal. Just for context, i paused for about 10-12 seconds before the turn push.

The thing is, after he calls the raise on the flop, you have to give him credit for an ace.

I don't know if I like the turn push very much given the buy-in (known for its looseness) and the previous action.

[CFANG]

Forgot to add that he only called the flop reraise after going into a bit of his time bank. He didn't seem comfortable

[jstrope]

If I'm going to represent the flush here, I just call the probe bet on the flop then push the turn.

dont play like this if you want to win.

I don't see the need to bluff off all my chips here. Great it worked here, but it won't always work. The Ace on the board is more of a reason not to bluff at it. I've seen so many players call an all in with a weak ace.

Or a fishy with a flush draw.

This play is a loser in the long run without a doubt. Even if you had the Qd it's not really good.

[CFANG]

yeah, I don't like making rediculous moves like this too much. The guy said after the hand he had TT. I figured the ace had him worried more then the draw.
