Sometimes ya just gotta...

Villain had pushed me (Hero) off a couple of TPTK hands previously so I decided to take a stand. What's your opinion of Villain's play?

If you mean what do I put him on he prob has 2 pair/set/AXc... pretty wide range. After he makes the reraise he is pretty much having to call any hand that beats AK.

Your play seems fine. I would need results to evaluate his.

This hand is presented from Villain's point of view. The result was he didn't draw out and I stacked him with TPTK.

HAHAHAH sry i was drunk when i made 1st post ( and still am )

Interesting post bcuz u mention he had pushed u off several hands. I don't think this play by him is ever terrible (if only because he'll get paid off by your tptk later on since u r aware) but in this case he may have been more wise to play passively since his k was likely dominated leaving him w 9 outs (highly likely when u push) and his pushing u around makes a "stand" by you more likely.

When i am pushing somebody repeatedly I am often amazed how little fold equity i am left with after a few hands. pushing draws becomes almost futile.

btw what do you think about calling his rerase and commiting to a safe turn from your point of view?

[Warpe]

I pushed because I felt he was trying to push me off again. If he was drawing (which he was), I was better to push back and put him to a hard decision about chasing it. Not sure I could have called the push in villain's shoes, but his flop raise kinda commits him, doesn't it? That's what I'm questioning.

[Genitruc]

I think villain needs to beat ak for this to be a clear call

w ak i think it's marginal

so i guess that means i lean 2wards fold, although he now has to call getting 2-1 on his flush.

tough hand for him. yay nl is fun for doing that

nh sir.

[Miffed22001]

fold AK maybe call with AA call with anything else two pair or better

[Renton]

Villain's play is extremely standard other than preflop.

Even laggs don't limpcall with that shite.

[Genitruc]

don't think ak is clear fold cuz so many big draws on this board.

Warpe before you make a play like this make sure you are up against a bad lagg and not a good one. Against a good lagg you will never be ahead if you get called. Your push gives a good lagg a chance to play the hand without making additional mistakes. And this lagg made no mistake in getting all in on this flop.

Oftentimes its better to just call, and push a blank turn where even against the biggest of draws you will have the best of it. I am not sure if that would've been the best play here or not. I'd like this push a lot better if you had paired your ace instead of your king.
