    Default Anyone like a Push here?

    Bonus Draw:

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $6 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    CO ($2354.20)
    Button ($757)
    Hero ($597.75)
    BB ($391.95)
    UTG ($290.20)
    MP ($783)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with 9, T.
    1 fold, MP raises to $24, 2 folds, Hero calls $21, BB calls $18.

    Flop: ($72) 8, 2, 5 (3 players)
    Hero checks, BB checks, MP checks.

    Turn: ($72) J (3 players)
    Hero bets $30, BB calls $30, MP raises to $112, Hero ??

    What about a push? Assuming he has top pair, I'm wining 33% of the time. Any Fold Equity? I think it's possible he might lay down TP here.

    meh, im not sure what the reason is exactly - wouldn't mind some clarity on it. But I'm fairly sure the good players on this forum at this level and above, ie. sauce and gabe would push in this scenario with your combo draw or a set.
    Myself i just call as im getting odds + a 1/2 pot bet on the river if i hit esp. the straight.

    Shove and it's not even close. I'd probably shove complete air here.

    What your hand looks like: Clearly we play any gigantic hand we have this way.

    What his hand looks like: 95% of the time he doesn't have better than one pair.

    What cold callers hand looks like: Doesn't matter because he's not calling.

    Shove. You have enough equity to call, so pushing is the best move even is there is only a little FE.

    Think about what each opponent likely has.... and then think about what a shove would make it look like you have, and then decide.

    Yeah, I thought so, but I'm not used to making 'gutsy' moves like this, especially at this limit. It shouldn't seem so gutsy, more like just a play in my arsenal. Probably why its best for me to play at 200nl where losing a buyin is no big deal. But its been fun taking some bigger shots...

    I would go all-in and expect to get called maybe 10% of the time. Even if someone does, I don't mind a whole lot.
