Genitruc is an unknown quantity at this point

I've been trying to mix it up with my monsters lately, sometimes making weird slowplays, sometimes open-pushing. I posted an open river-push with top boat ealier today... Gabe hated it, other ppl liked it.

How bout this one. Villain seems like a good tag (he's like 18/15/2), capable of reading hands. BTW f ucking convertor doesn't work on my laptop for some reason. Same with "bold", "italics", quoting ppl etc. wtf.

Anyways, here's the hand :

***** Hand History for Game 5264977841 *****

Seat 5: VILLAIN ( $198.70 )

he probably has AA or KK, or nut flush draw (worth betting flop large on when you have shown that much strength pre-flop) or a made straight (KJ seems like the least likely considering preflop action)

I like the push - There is quite a bit in pot already, if your called you are most likely ahead and he's drawing to 2 outs or runner runner something - NP Sir

I think this is a fairly standard play. Too many action-killing / suckout cards can come on the turn.

You also might want to play a big draw with lots of flop equity the same way. Other players do this often enough that you will get insta-called by a range of pretty good hands.

nh. He's going to have trouble laying down most hand in his reraise range. Like people mentioned - there are way too many turn cards that will kill your action and since he's good at reading hands, he may be able to get away.

genitruc,

this looks like you have a draw, so he will have a hard time folding. nh
