    Default Bad or good push?

    No HH since they suck on bodog

    25nl

    I'm dealt AdKd on the button. Couple of limpers, I raise, BB and one of the limpers call.

    Flop comes Ac/10c/Js . BB(aggro, and likes to lead out flops) bets $1.5, or about half the pot. Limper folds, I reraise to $4, BB calls. Turn comes Qs. BB bets $2, making the pot about $13, I push for my remaining $17. BB thinks and calls down with Jc9c, and proceeds to river a club.

    My question is, should I have put out a value bet on the turn, to be certain that he calls, and to still have a chance to get away from it on the river, if a club does indeed fall?
    Against that heinous background, my crimes were pale and meaningless. I was a relatively respectable citizen - a multiple felon, perhaps, but certainly not dangerous.

    Results oriented much?

    I think the flop is an easy call, from there you got it in with the best of it.

    Would you seriously considerinf folding at that point on the river if a club came? No. Then why would you consider betting less on the turn.

    You got your money in with the nuts. What else can you ask for?

    If you read him as a fish then you made the correct play. However, I would have only bet enough on the turn to commit him to call on the river. By the end of this hand I want to double up, but I don't have to do it on the turn when a VERY scary card comes out. Usually only the other K will call your all-in bet there. You make it way too easy for the two pair to fold.

    With that said, I still lose the same amount of money as you did. So don't worry about that.

    if i think hes drawing i push, if i think he has 2pair/straight i play it hard but enough for him to make a call.
    if the button is aggro id reraise at every street killing all his odds
