My thoughts: lets say he has KK, AA, AQ, QJ, JT, KQ. then your move is great cause he very well might call, and you have the winning hand. If he has a flush and or straight draw, I think that this is wrong cause you do not give him a reason to make a mistake and call a smaller bet. if he has QQ, JJ we are fucked. if he has AK then atleast we have outs.

I would bet that if he had QQ, JJ, KK, AA then he would have re-raised preflop so most likely this is not in his range. Many would raise AK as well preflop so I would assume that is not in his range That brings us to AQ, JT, QJ, or some crappy draw, air. With these hands I think u want to keep him in the hand and not fold against such a huge reraise. So I say make it 280 forcing him to go all in on the turn and or river. regarless I want all my chips in the pot.

Disclamer: I am still playing 50NL

Is this in a casino? If it is this is super duper easy. If it's not. Idk how else you can play this. If this guy folds it would be unbelievable but your probably beating his range.

This seems very unlike a draw to min/raise. If you were in position, and he c/r'd I could see calling, but I guess just push. It's hard to imagine a worse flop that trips you. All diamonds I guess is worse, but at least you could get away on a 4th diamond (well, assuming you don't have odds to call with 10 outs)

Yeah I shove. Often this is a combo draw with something like KdQd. The only hand I'm really worried about is AK/JJ since they might just flat call preflop. Either way, likely ahead of his range.. Push it!
Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.

why push? don't you want more of his chips?
if you are beat, you are beat and gonna loose your stack anyway. why not give him an excuse to make mistakes and give us more chips.

this is the wrong mentality to have on this board. this line of thinking would be more correct if we had bottom set on a board with 0-1 draws. Here, it's pretty bad. There are many cards that could hit the turn that either beat you or kill your action. Pushing is the only play in this hand.
My bankroll is the amount of money I would spend or lose before I got a job. It is calculated by adding my net worth to whatever I can borrow.

I would agree with a push here. Flat call pre looks like QQ is out of the question. So now we are only worried about JJ or AK. I think most of the time we will find him with a pari and atleast one draw.

You can't try to suck chips out on this board. You have to get your money in while your ahead because if any diamond, 9, ace, or king fall your going to have to lay it down to a big bet. We can only pray if he does have us beat he has AK and we need to pair up the board.
