    Default Stars $5.50...couple hands

    I think I played this one fairly good. Is my flop bet a good enough size?

    MP (t2787)

    Button (t2703)
    Hero (t2950)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with , .
    1 fold, MP raises to t150, 2 folds, Hero calls t125, 1 fold.

    Flop: (t350) , , (2 players)
    Hero bets t300, MP raises to t2000, Hero raises to t2800, MP calls t637 (All-In).

    Turn: (t5787) (2 players, 1 all-in)

    River: (t5787) (2 players, 1 all-in)

    Final Pot: t5624



    Should I just call here instead of pushing all in? Opponent was 52/12 over 25 hands. Not a lot of hands to make a decision on so am thinking that maybe I should have called.

    Hand 1 (JJ) - that's actually a bit of a tough spot and somewhat read dependent on MP. If he's been loose/aggressive then I think this is absolutely fine. If he's the tightest player on earth I think you run into QQ+ quite often here. Readless at a $5.50 this is probably OK, you run into draws, AT and other crap that you beat often enough to go broke with an overpair.

    Hand 2 (AKo) - absolutely fine, you can't call off more than 40% of your stack preflop when you only hit an A or K on the flop 1 time in 3, and you want to see all 5 cards to get full value from your AK here.

    2nd hand is an insta-shove. Being on the button the blinds will reraise wider than normal. Calling and folding to non ace/king flops would be horrible
