    Yep, fold that trash preflop. Fine call on the flop though, you had major outage.

    besides folding preflop.

    Why no push over the top and try and isolate?

    I dont think pushing over the top to isolate would be the best play, this is a hand where you want other people to be in after you hit. Also what are you going to get to fold in this situation by going over the top?

    The only hands i see folding would be mid pair and low pair, maybe top pair at all if they have any sense at all, a set sure isnt' getting folded (which is basically the only thing you'd have to fear hitting), a higher flush is not going to fold in that situation in my opinion, along w/ AA-TT.

    I just don't see the reason in going over the top, I'd like to hear your input about this situation. You are just causing the longshots to fold, and not the real threats.

    i think the call is fine since ur on the button, and reraise all in postflop. the reason i'd reraise is because i want people to call on the flop, not the turn, with their draws or just fold. i dont want them to just call the non-AI bet and get to see the turn and not hit their draw and then they fold. you make less money this way. plus you could perhaps knock out a higher flush draw.

    You have something like 18 outs. 9 hearts, 3 queens, 3 tens, 3 fives, whatever the next card is, you will probably win.

    I'm not sure why pushing is the right play. But in reply to ur questions, you might fold the King of hearts. You are drawing to the 3rd nuts, Iv seen examples of this where you bet ur marginal hands hard in order to fold other marginal hands which might be better than yours. Also there is a probability that some players might fold their nut flush draw becuase the price isnt quite right (you never know).

    Hell I Wouldnt be surprised if people folded Aces, especially at higher levels. If one guy pushes on a two to a flush + 3 connected board, and another guy pushes over that, any smart player with aces would fold. Hell I would fold my aces in that position.

    Someones going to have to tell me what the right play is.

    A OESD + 2 overs + flush draw, one guy goes all in in front of you. What do you do? I have no clue. Pushing just seems to be my coup d'etat. I just see nothing wrong with pushing to isolate. Someones going to have to tell me that its mathematically wrong.

    If calling will make me more chips over the long run, im all for it. GABEZOR!

    You have so few chips left I think the AI vs call decision is moot - people do funny stuff every once in a while, so I'd probably move in just in case, but someone who was going to call 1200 twice is going to call 1200 + 2400.

    If you had enough chips to fold the other stack out, I would say do it, top pair or K high flush would lay down for sure, and even a weak over pair would be iffy in this spot.

    And why exactly do you want a weak overpair or top pair to fold?
