well, he liked it enough to minraise...which doesnt tell me much. i raised with AA, and he only called with a hand he raised....hmmmm? pp's and suited broadways are where i think first, but who really knows yet?

he donks the flop suggesting some sort of draw, weak overpair, or monster begging for a raise. w/o a read, i have no idea, so i raise it big because i think he's ahead and will call, and i can flush out monsters that were begging for a raise. kind of get more information...but only while i think i am very likely ahead.

but he calls still? can this guy let go of overpairs? am i starting to think about SIZING for stacks by river here? does he have A3s? i dont know how to put this guy on a range because he is playing this really, really weird.

turn comes, and we shove? i dont know if i can do that yet. but, i also see we only have $3.50 behind and need to make a large bet when he checks. i may bet $1.50 here and then put the rest in on river...try to get something more from JJ-KK and any stupid flush draws.

but, when pushing while we dont know if he can/will fold, we are likely still only getting called by the hands that beat us. this is the trick part of microstakes, imo. the range is still rather wide here, and we have no read that villain "cant fold overpairs." if i see that read in my notes...i MAY push here, but if he cant fold overpairs, why would i push? i dont see JJ or worse calling the push here, but they may have called a smaller bet.

wow. weird hand. i dont know where i stand....sometimes i push here, too, in an attempt to just end it now, BUT THAT IS A MISTAKE! we are likely so far ahead, or so far behind, we just need to bet for value and take our chances. dont blow out the crap that may call.

w/o stats or reads, we havent a clue where we are here, imo.
