oh yes. bet it.

occasionally you'll run into a check-raise with a better hand but the way the action went on all streets, not too likely.
AWOL.

Shove. There's what, ~$10 in pot? You have ~$5 behind. He's checked to you on the turn and river. What do you need, a gold-plated invitation?

Sorry, left for a baseball tournament and haven't posted in a while. I can't find that hand history immeadiately but i can remember this hand and i believe i bet the river for $3 or so and he called with AJ.

You say push the turn, but i do not understand exactly why you would do that. Please elaborate

 betting 3 on river is ok, pushing is probably better though, he will have a J here a lot and at 10nl will stack easily if you just give him the chance.
i betcha that i got something you ain't got, that's called courage, it don't come from no liquor bottle, it ain't scotch

This site is where i started playing cash games oh so long ago, and i still revisit becasue its just too good to miss.

One of the great things about the site is that players at small stakes games here wont just make bad calls (calling station calls) they will make horrible calls for their stack. Thus if you can put him on a pair by the turn then push because he may like that pair enough to get all in, and at this site they do. Id go as far to say if you'd puhed the turn here AJ would have insta-called because the playrs at these stakes on the site inevotably ting tptk is the absolute nuts, despite having called preflop with highly dominated hands.

If you really want to test this, move to the 6max games and really overplay your hands like AA/KK and sets.

Over the last few sessions I've done a lot more pushing than value betting and it has really shown in my profits. I was pushing in spots I'd never push before and they would often call with hands as weak as TPNK.
