    Default $11 in hindsight im thinking take the free card!!!!

    Hows my line?

    Initially i went to steal the blind but had a hand to play with too. no real reads i can remember on this one but i was surprised on the reraise but it gave me 3:1 ODDS so i didnt fold. called instead of pushed coz I still got 10xBB left to play with and if im behind pf i can get away if i miss.

    Villian didnt c/b which is usually what villians do at $11 but mehh just coz he checked doesnt hold all that much weight. should i have taken the free turn card and get pushed out if i miss or was i good to push with the right odds for the flush with maybe the Ace adding 3 more outs?? what would you do?

    i like the push, but i dont like calling the preflop reraise. you need a miracle flop, you would be putting in a lot of your stack, and your way behind. in this situation i think you can forget about pot odds

    possible situaitons :

    Meh A7s is on the weak side of the A's. Its not as if you were desperate although you probably need to make a move soon. What hands were you expecting to beat, and did you have any reads on the villan? does he re-raise preflop a lot? as fjuanl says you'd need a miricle flop here. Either your flush draw or 2 pair, he could quite easily have a higher Ax so any A wouldnt be an out, and he may have a high pair in which case unless you hit a set or 2 pair you'd have a difficult decision if he puts in a big raise.

    Id have folded pre-flop, your just getting too many chips involved in a hand your most certainly going to be behind. Your steal didnt work, move on. For me pot odds take a back seat to stack sizes in situations like this.

    As it happens you did hit your flush and sure an all in bet is ok here. Hes probably not hit his hand Qx is unlikely for a re-raise unless hes trapping with a high pair.

    I would fold to the reraise.
    Once you called it I think the flop push is OK

    Folding equity trumps free cards when the free card is only helping you 20% of the time. If you check there, he's likely to bet the turn with anything.

    That said, if his check is strange, that might be enough to override the above...Is that a read that you had on him, or just on players from the $11s in general?
