Too quick to push?

    Default Too quick to push?

    6 handed 2/4 game

    Villain has 373, I cover

    3 limpers to me in the SB with KhTh and I complete.

    Flop is Jc 9h 8h, giving me the openended straight draw, and a flush draw.

    I check (?) planning to check-raise (?). Co min-bets, button calls, and I make it 25.

    He min-raises to 46, and I push.

    I struggle with these hands. I know I'm often the favorite on a flop like this, but if I don't get it all-in on the flop, I never know what to do on the turn. Any advice would be appreciated.

    I like a call, I don't think you have much folding equity and I want to give this guy showing us a donkish line a chance to make a Sklansky mistake on the turn.

    That said, I'm almost always leading out here as check/raising lets our opponents have more control over the pot size.

    I disagree with the first part. I prefer a push. The pot is ~$80 after CO 3-bets and he has over $300 behind. You have fold equity.

    I like leading out though for the same reason.
    TheXianti: (Triptanes) why are you not a thinking person?
