No reads. Table has been pretty loose and crazy the past few orbits. I'm scared of a flopped straight or a higher set, but I went ahead and ran with it.

How'd I do?

What is the best play in a situation like this? I ended up getting my money all-in....but is it better to call a reraise in this situation looking to flop a boat if somebody has 67 here? Or is jamming the pot and hoping for the best the way to play this?

Fuck it, I push and pray. Yeah, it's a scary board but I'd be inclined to think I was ahead. If you're beat, then you're beat. I wouldn't give anyone a cheap chance to catch up if you're ahead though. I wouldn't be worried so much about the cold caller as I would the person that 3-bet, but if the play has been fast and loose lately he may have two pair, a pair and a flush draw, a straight draw, A9, etc. Tough situtation to be in, but I make the same play without any reads.

Word. Figured that this was pretty much standard, just wanted to get a line check.

Results: Kromag shoved in his entire stack on top of mine (he had me covered)...and then the other guy called his push as well.

Kromag had 6 7
Other Dude had A 3

Turn is a Qh, River 2d. Kromag whips both of us with a flopped straight.

Results aside, I'm happy with how I played this.

As sick as it is, if the action was raise, push after your big raise, then I would fold in the PS100NL full game.

It's not a very good game compared to the Bodog game we were tearing up. Move to 6 max and your bankroll will thank you.

Yes, if somebody would have pushed after my big raise.....I'm gone, just like that.

Since it was basically a min-raise I decided to punch it...This time I was wrong (and didn't boat up). No biggie.

Fnord, check your PMs.
