no way

pushing is more +ev than checking
if we check and they have a diamond we lose the hand
if we push we win like 99% of the time anyway

If you go through the progression of the hand.....I think a push is the most awesomest play here.

1) Our hand wins a showdown *maybe* if we check
2) Our hand wins almost every time unless villian has Ad here, we played it exactly like we have Ad...and our opponent checked so he probably doesn't have Ad here and is scared shitless......even if he calls, we probably win here because of the "showdown value" of our hand....

I dunno, gonna have to go with gabetown here.

Except for the times you get called by theAd/ Qd/Jd or worse. Betting here is terrible in terms of risk/reward.

I'm not saying all the time but is it that bad to assume that since he checked the flop I would say that usually you have 48% be glad to hear your thoughts on how this concept works though

Pushing is definitely awful against a decent player. I would check the Ad here if I'm villain a lot to induce a bluff. So when you shove here you get GGed a fair bit by somebody who isn't completely predictable. I think our hand is good so often that betting is pointless, even if there are a few times when villain has a non nut flush and scoops.

the decent players are the ones its always a push against because they arent tricky. the fish might call and the awesome player might trap you, but the decent ones are usually straightforward enough that push is great.

Would you push if you had the A too?

Pushing is better than checking if fold%*459-331 > showdown%*128.

Fold% is around 90, showdown% something like 60? 82 > 77, pretty close with these numbers.

95, 50 -> 105, 64..

Hand 1: I guess this is standard unless Villain only leads out like this with 2p+. Then it's a call obv.

Hand 2: I lean towards a check, that coldcall OOP is tricky. If you put him on QQ+, which is likely, checking is the best play. You can c-bet the turn too if he checks again.

i think they put you on AK too much when you check here and will call you down with 99/88 too much.

but, depending on how tight they are and how likely they are to reraise with AA/KK, it can be a check sometimes. the fact that the villian is short by an amount thats not divisable by the small blind makes me think they aren't a regular, so i like betting.

That's the whole point of the "going all-in a lot" strategy, no? That you can push your monsters and people will really be doubting if you have it if they've seen you push so much.

If I understand correctly, you want to push sometimes (in spots like this apparently) vs solid players, because even if it's only slightly +EV to do so.. when you later push a monster vs a more fishy player, he is all the more likely to call you. Or vs a solid player who is starting to think you're a loon, so he might call a push lateron too.. hopefully we have it then, needless to say.

The only problem I see is the very aware players that figure out your game and will try to trap you.

This sound at all in the good direction?
