    Default Smaller raise with flush?

    He only has $100 left on the turn. Should I make a smaller raise perhaps rather than putting him all-in?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $4 BB (6 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

    UTG ($67.90)
    MP ($234.70)
    CO ($1008)
    Hero ($1054.45)
    SB ($396)
    BB ($658.05)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with J, Q.
    1 fold, MP calls $4, 1 fold, Hero raises to $16, 2 folds, MP calls $12.

    Flop: ($38) 4, 4, T (2 players)
    MP checks, Hero bets $24, MP raises to $48, Hero calls $24.

    Turn: ($134) 2 (2 players)
    MP bets $52, Hero raises to $990.45, MP folds.

    Final Pot: $1176.45

    No, that's worse. I type in their exact stack when I WANT them to fold. Seems to have a psychological effect in my experience.

    I like 2/3 - 3/4 of their stack. If they call, you have a good chance of getting the rest on the river. They either put themselves in or you put them in. A push isn't bad here either though.
