    Default I have to push this flop right?

    Villain is a regular, isn't out of line but is probably a losing player. A few hands earlier I made a sick call with QQ with an A on the flop versus Villain and he's been raising erratically since so I think he may be being possessed by Tilty McBates. 53/25.

    i think you played this fine. if you had something like As10s on a 10x 6s 3s flop then i would be more inclined to stick it all in.
    eeevees are not monies yet...they are like baby monies.

    The only problem I see with simply calling this hand on the flop is that you might not have gotten all the others to fold (even though they did). I raise there may have given you a bit more information.

    Let's say you re-raised him in that situation. If he pushes then you have to weigh whether your nut flush draw with middle pair is worth the call. If the odds would have been in your favor to call then it would have been worth it.

    I'm guessing that this guy may have had two overs and hit his King on the turn. I reraise from you on the flop may have slowed him down. The keyword there however is "may". If you feared his tilt factor then he already has you intimidated.

    I think you probably got as cheap a view on the turn as you could given your read of the guy. Not faulting your call. If you feared him pushing to a reraise then that should be telling you something about how you really felt about your hand and your chances.

    Go with your instincts. You'd be surprised how often you are right.
    Once all-in and called, you are simply at the mercy of the cards.

    I like to reraise this flop as long as you haven't been caught doing it before. Is bet looks like a continuation bet and you'll find out for sure with a reraise on this flop. If he has an over pair you'll have 14 outs to catch up and its very possible that your ahead and he has 2 overs. By reraising the flop its very possible he lays down his hand if he does call you take the lead on the hand and can either take it down on the turn/river or make your hand.

    my normal line is to raise enough to commit vs utg if he pushes (and I guess the bb as well), and hope the sb doesn't reraise.
