    I was at first aiming for blind steal, but then went for the draw. Or should I have folded at the flop to his reraise?
    Scuzzy was around 40/20 if I remember right.. What do you do here?

    With two overs and a FD I shove over his flop raise. As played I shove the river with the 2nd nuts.

    This. Also I would bet a little more on the flop or if opp has been aggressive postflop, go for a check-raise.

    Don't worry about the converter, it didn't work because you can't post links until you have 10 posts.

    Yeah, he might have folded for the flop shove.. In the end I did shove the river, and well, he had the first nuts and I busted.
    Now I'm wondering if I should have either read his hand that way, or been a lot more careful with the 2nd nuts..

    Thanks for insight!

    Never fold in this situation! You can't put the guy on exactly the hand that beats you when lots of other hands would play the same (think sets, straights, overpairs, maybe even crap like A8).

    In the batter's box. Already 0-1 count....
    I believe it's hard to put him on the absolute nuts here. However, with the way the hand is played he can have Ax of diamonds and he has position as well as having us covered.

    I don't like the steal. I limp and if he raises, I get away from it. However, if I make it to the flop. I push and lose all my chips anyway as he is surely calling. I go broke here everytime I get to this flop. You can't muck the river. Just a bad situation once you get to the flop.

    I think you just found a leak in your game, I would raise here every time SB vs BB unless the BB shoved over every time I raised. I don't understand why you would just limp here rather than raise.
