    Default Nut straight with a big redraw 5/10

    5/10 4-handed, few hands in you get dealt on the button. You raise to $35. Both SB(3.5k) and BB($700) call.
    Flop comes . Everyone checks.
    Turn comes , giving you the nut straight along with a redraw for the K-high flush/straight flush. SB leads for $25 into a $105 pot, BB calls, action's on you. What's your play? You have a full stack, no reads on either opponent but you assume SB to be at least decent (or very lucky in running up a 3.5k stack) and BB to be a calling station (loose-passive play).

    easiest push ever. a king isnt folding and you want to get as much money possible in against a king.

    Haha you're on to me. I must say I haven't given too much thought to the concept of freerolling until recently, I actually ended up misplaying this hand by not raising hard enough and BB caught a boat on the river. Yea I'm a big fish I know. Shut up bmx I hear you snickering.
    In situations like these, you have to push- go AI if you think either one of them has a king and will call you. The only time you might not want to push your whole stack in is if you think one of your opponents is capable of folding a king to an AI.

    You will get a fold from a king less than 10% of the time by open-raising AI on the turn, most people simply don't consider the possibility that they are getting freerolled on. However, a smart, thinking player will think about such things and he will fold if he feels the pot's too small. Against such a player, I am saying it is better to raise to say $275 than open-raising AI, so that you're not giving him an opportunity to get away.

    Against most players though going AI is standard.

    you gain if he folds..

    You gain more if he calls a big overbet with 19,5% to take it all, 80,5% to split. All in is probably most +EV unless you get a fold more than 60-70% of the time or something? Didn't do the math.

    if your op is willing to fold the nuts to you then i think that in itself is worth noting for future hands. i push every time.
