PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (8 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

UTG ($5.18)
UTG+1 ($5.39)
MP1 ($5.36)
MP2 ($1.04)
CO ($1.91)
Button ($1.66)
Hero ($5.93)
BB ($5.24)

Preflop: Hero is SB with K, K.
3 folds, MP2 raises to $0.04, CO calls $0.04, 1 fold, Hero raises to $0.20, 1 fold, MP2 calls $0.16, CO folds.

Flop: ($0.46) J, 3, 9 (2 players)
Hero bets $0.30, MP2 calls $0.30.

Turn: ($1.06) A (2 players)
Hero bets $0.60, MP2 calls $0.54 (All-In).

River: ($2.20) Q (2 players, 1 all-in)

Final Pot: $2.20

I put him on probably the flush draw on the turn. Should i have guessed he had the A or should i have pushed the flop. I came very close to pushing this flop but thought it would be better to push a non turn.
gabe: Ive dropped almost 100k in the past 35 days.

I might bet his stack to be silly and induce a call.

Yeah I would push the flop. The pot is roughly $.45 on the flop and villian has $.84 left. Any bet pretty much commits both of you, so just push. You will give bad odds to the draws, and at the penny tables all sorts of crap like Qx, Jx will call you. The way you played it is okay too (I would bet $.40 on the flop however). There's no way you can fold the turn given the size of the pot.

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but what's your logic in this Fnord? I've always thought that if you push it looks more like a bluff and hence a weaker hand might call you more often. I've always wondered about this. lol

Don't push, he might think at some level that he has to call it all. Bettting his stack says "I'm bullying you Mr Short Stack" and tends to induce inane calls.
