Villian here is a complete unknown.

What's your move here?

[Halv]

I don't like the preflop reraise OOP against an unknown.

As played, I think I lead for half pot.

push?

[benny999]

Yea I dont like pf much either, but think betting more on the flop and pushing the turn is good.

How is this a bad play used sparingly?

How is this a bad play used sparingly?

Villian here is a complete unknown.

Being OOP against unknowns in big pots with hands that are likely not to flop big is something I generally dislike. Plays that we use sparingly should be saved for when we have a reason for using them, ie we have a good read, we have good position, someone has a gun to our head etc.

I'm not folding this hand after this turn, but won't a turn push only be called by better hands?
