    Default Last Monster. I Promise.

    I pushed river.

    What are your alternatives and why. Villain is taggy preflop and slightly passive post-flop.


    - VILLAIN sitting in seat 1 with $295.60
    - apan3 sitting in seat 3 with $292.28 [Dealer]
    - bolerogsaft sitting in seat 4 with $664.20
    - HERO sitting in seat 5 with $364.70
    - Eurare sitting in seat 6 with $290.35

    bolerogsaft posted the small blind - $1.50
    HERO posted the big blind - $3.00

    ** Dealing card to HERO: 10 of Hearts, 10 of Spades

    Eurare folded
    VILLAIN called - $3.00
    apan3 folded
    bolerogsaft called - $3.00
    HERO bet - $15.00
    VILLAIN called - $15.00
    bolerogsaft folded

    ** Dealing the flop: 10 of Diamonds, 8 of Diamonds, Ace of Diamonds
    Pot :33$

    HERO bet - $25.00
    VILLAIN called - $25.00

    ** Dealing the turn: 3 of Clubs
    Pot : 83$

    HERO bet - $75.00
    VILLAIN called - $75.00

    ** Dealing the river: 10 of Clubs
    Pot : 233$

    Villain has 180 left…

    shoving is probably best but the another option would be to make a suspicious low bet encouraging him to come over the top with a busted king high flush draw, and even if he has been slow playing the flush he'll want to raise thinking he has the best hand.

    He would have to have a flush or 33 or 88 to call this. I discount AA since he limped EP. Push is good but to get Ax to call, you might have to bet lower. I'm thinking $100 since it's mathematically in his best interest to call w/ Ax after calling you down and then you backing off a little on the river. He'll push over with a boat and (probably) a flush anyway. Just a thought.
