    Default 160bb - flushy turn, and he likes to play sooted cards

    earlier, a tag button raised, a tight sb reraised, and villain snap calls from the bb with T2s, calls a cbet on a 642 flop and it got checked down.

    what do u do here?

    Ultimate Bet
    No Limit Holdem Ring game
    Blinds: $1./$2.
    4 players
    Converter

    Stack sizes:
    UTG: $197
    Button: $619.50
    SB: $363.75
    Hero: $336.85

    Pre-flop: (4 players) Hero is BB with K A
    UTG raises to $7, Button calls, SB calls, Hero raises to $35, UTG folds, Button calls, SB folds.

    Flop: K 9 8 ($84, 2 players)
    Hero bets $80, Button calls.

    Turn: 2 ($244, 2 players)
    Hero ($218)...

    No hindsight for the blind.
    I put the rest in and feel okay about it. I don't strive to lay hands down against donkeys. While the earlier hand indicates a fondness of playing any two sooted, more importantly imo it indicates a willingness to call big bets with wayy to weak holdings. He'll snap call with Th9s enough.

    Edit: didnt consider that we're semi-deep. Still shove though.

    All in, watch his T2 hit a Ten on the river, and reload.

    I would fire a big bet into him. That's my new rule and it's working well - bet once into a scary board. I hate losing a stack with TPTK, but sometimes it's just what happens. You have to fire a couple bullets, and the fish still chase. And Iowa has it right - watch some crap hand suck out on the river.

    hmm i think im reverse tilting from downswinging. i thought it was a c/f, but pushing is easier and makes sense.

    my reasoning for c/f was he only bets a flush on the turn (?), pair+draw is about 25% to hit, and his range has a lot of flush combos...

    but anyway the assumptions and math are too fuzzy imo and it likely turns out to be similar ev to pushing.
