    Default Marginal shove.

    Opponent is a regular. About an hour prior I stacked him when I flopped a set of tens against his A-Q on an A high flop, so he may be pissed at me still.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $2 BB (5 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    BB ($202)
    UTG ($476.25)
    Hero ($222)
    Button ($42.65)
    SB ($100)

    Preflop: Hero is MP with T, T.
    1 fold, Hero raises to $6, 2 folds, BB calls $4.

    Flop: ($13) 6, 9, 6 (2 players)
    BB checks, Hero bets $10, BB raises to $34, Hero calls $24.

    I think it's played fine. I can't see how this is anything other than quads, a draw or air so I would play it the same I think.

    {edit: It would probably help to know who the regular is or at least some reads on how he plays.}

If he has a 6, there's some off chance he'll fold to my push since any 9 gives me a higher full house, and I'm showing a lot of strength. If he has one or two overcards and a flush draw, my hand is still vulnerable, so moving in helps protect my hand when the pot is big.

    Should I just call and give him the opportunity to bluff again with a missed diamond draw?
