Hit my set

chooch is weak player, caught him raising Ax enough times.
winnie has lost enough money at the table chasing flushes and whats not.
im sure im ahead, but not for shizzle do i want to let winnie chase his flush or chooch to have an easy call and flop an A or something daft.

I see this as a push???

Pop it up to like $10 so that you can get it all in on the turn without a huge overbet.

^^ Yup.

is a push bad though?

It's not that bad, but it's pointless - you'll scare off weak aces and flushdraws, leaving AJ+ , Jcxc and sets to call.

Remember, you want your opponent to draw to the flush, just with bad odds.

Also, the idea behind raising the flop is generally that by the time you push, your opponent will have so little left in their stack compared to the size of the pot that they'll feel committed.

aaah i understand, jsut i felt that (well i new that) winnie was most likely too call, and if he did he was chasing.

but i think i prefer just the re-raise to $10, make more sense.
