How should I play this

[fasin8ing]

I know Iam going to have to lead out here.. However; If I check raise and he got a piece of this.. I beleive she will just push into my check raise. Should I lead out, if so how much ? Should I check raise ? Should I just open push ? Thoughts? My Re raise was just trying to get her to lay it down PF, I didnt really want to play this hand out, K Q suited is a great hand for HU but I would rather not be faced with these decisions at this point of the game and on that flop.. If she called with an Ace of diamonds.. This could be trouble at the end.

You have a huge hand HU... even against a set. Against say 44, you are still 40% to win. You are ahead of TPTK, say AJ... 66% / 34%. (EDIT - Ops, meant AJ not A10)

As you played it preflop, the SB has only 3600, why not just raise him AI? He HAS to be AI now after the flop.. he has what, 1200 left @ 200/400 blinds? Just lead out for 1200, he has to call.. if he calls you win more than not, if he folds, you have a 14:1 chip advantage to win the tournament.

This is completely trivial, the SB only has 1200 chips left - the money is absolutely guaranteed to all go in, so just get it in now. Given that this situation was going to arise, the preflop action (neither of you going all-in) doesn't really make much sense...

5 K + would be huge if I lose, but I have like 23 outs correct counting over cards? When I put my opponent on a range of hands, should I subtract them from outs? My opponent may hold an ace... My opponent may hold A 9 , given the situation Iam in great shape.. Of course I push here.. I am more concerned with the scenario and thoughts leading up to this. Say the roles were reversed... And I were Villain... Or lets say our stacks sizes were the same.. How can I approach this correctly with a thought process. Any examples of what you would be thinking in this situation?

Your opponent has less than 10BB, push this hand preflop, and then you wont have anymoire tough decisions. As played you need to push this flop, you have an OESD+Flush draw and two overcards, you have a shitload of outs, what more do you want here?

In this situation I would be wondering why I didnt push preflop, thats the only mistake that really matters, because had you done that you would have had to make any other decisions. You could try to subtract some outs, but its too complicated and in this situation you dont have to, you have a ton of outs no matter what your opponent has in his hand. I may be wrong with this but Im pretty sure that OESFD + Overcards is the most outs you can have. Im concerned with the thoughts leading up to this as well, you should have pushed preflop. With even stacks at these blinds you still would want to get your chips in the middle on this flop. With a draw as strong as this I really am not that worried about what my opponent has, with stacks the way they are you have to be getting these chips in, especially after this flop.

In this order I am thinking the following:

1) Most flops miss most hands
2) I have a TON of outs and may still be ahead
3) Push baby push

gatorjh, u remember me from stars 4.40 yesterday or from a $25nl game the other day? danj001?

[FlyingSaucy]

1.

OESFD + Overcards is the most outs you can have.

2.

You are heads up.
