Richard~;231529 wroteNot that it really matters but villain is getting the definition of 2:1 on a call if I make a potsized shove on the turn <.<
The pot is 1400+1400+200+3200+3200+10778 = 20178
20178/10778 = ~1.87 to 1
... which I believe falls in the "not even 2 to 1" category!
I could bet a tad more on the flop but I don't think that's a big deal, I don't mind seing a 3,4 king or queen since they're probably fairly blank in this situation. I cannot under any circumstances call and "hope for help" on the turn, that's just plain wierd...
I think a 2, 5, 6 or J would help quite a bit, and leave you with much more equity if your going to push on the turn! (not saying I would recommend that)
And i really think I have to make my decision on the flop, I don't like calling and hoping he shuts down and I don't like giving a free card on the turn either since I'm paying off almost any nonheart river anyway. There's a fair amount of air in his flopraising range too and the only reason I flat the flop is because I might be slightly behind and want to improve my equity
Preflop, his range is wide, as he could be stealing from the cut-off. He could also have a big hand here since it looks like a steal, and it would be well disguised, and he's in position if one of the blinds defends. You have a BIG hand, but the flop is really bad for you to go risking your tournament life on.
You c-bet the flop, he min-raises, and you flat, and then push the turn. He's shown no weakness, and your pushing a flop that's right in a stealers' range. I love stealing with 45s, 86s, etc. Your getting no equity on your push. He folds worse hands, and calls when your beat! Why push? I shut down after getting raised here. Risk/reward ratio way to low for me! YMMV
