middle pair + flush draw

Better way to play this? I can't imagine folding preflop is correct.

this is fine for sure, but I think calling and shoving turns you miss might be better.

He's never folding Ax on the flop, but maybe if a broadway comes he'll talk himself into folding like A4. And if he will fold KQ/KJ/KT on flop he'll fold them on turn also.

If you hit anything just let him bet it and/or shove river

you need the raiser to fold a reasonable amount of the time for that play to work. A solid raise could have the same effect without risking stacks. If you raise and he reraises you can fold. I just think ur deep enough that you don't have to play for stacks

If you raise and he reraises you can fold.

why would you ever fold, after you reraise and he shoves over, when you have most likely have 14 clean outs, twice. also mp2 started hand with 1095. what amount are you reraising, thats not AI???

Seems fine to me, I play it the same. drmcboy raises an interesting line about calling flop and shoving turn, but I think I prefer getting my chips in on the flop for the following reasons:

- Opp will most likely call our C-R with Ax on the flop but he will probably fold weaker aces if a third club comes on the turn
- Are we still prepared to commit the rest of our (well, opp's) stack if a non-club Q or J comes on the turn?

What Taipan said+our shove has some fold equity
