The villain, a solid player for the 100 NL level, plays his hand exactly like he has a monster.. turns out it was more like a monsterlet Very Happy This shows why laying down TPTK in 6-max (espically at the 100$ buy-in level) is very very difficult..

Do you regularly put your whole stack on the line on turn with TPTK? If you do, is it profitable?
I get extremely wary when someone minraises the turn like that - your right it does spell monster. Maybe I'm playing weaktight, but I dont like to get allin here.

I think this is a real grey area. You may be slightly +EV by pushing here but it's not clear-cut by any means. It helps that in this case the turn card was a meaningless one (almost no chance it helped him), but he could very easily be sitting on a set of sixes or fours with the line he laid down here. Ordinarily, with that series of bets and a scarier board, I'm probably folding the turn unless I have a read telling me a good reason not to. If I know a guy is pretty aggressive I'd be more likely to push.

Everyone gotta love this play!
My only question is that with a 4xbbs raise infront of me and i have KQ is the play to put it down preflop? That might just be me but i'd be worried about being dominated and hitting top pair onlt to be behind. I love spinoli's aggro play and i'd push there with AK too i think i just dont understand KQ calling the push and i have doubts over calling preflop when it is raised in front of me if i dont at least have suited KQ to give more options
WOuld you make the opps play here spinoli under the circumstances?

Just don't get in the habit of doing it alot, there are still situation in 1000nl (even full ring) where i will push my entire stack in w/ tptk, but you have to choose them well.

It's rare for an opponent to get raised on the flop while holding TP, then smooth call and check raise you on 4th street without improvement and nothing to represent. I see it, but not often. Usually if they think their hand is good they'll bet right out into you on the turn with a coup bet, or re-raise you on the flop.

Making a habit of this is -EV against solid players.
